Whole Wheat Cumin Cookies- Jeera Biscuits

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1cup +2/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 100 Gms Butter
  • ½ cup powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoon milk (room temperature) or as much needed for soft dough
  • ¾ teaspoon to put in dough + 1 teaspoon Whole Cumin Seeds (Jeera) to sprinkle on top

Method

Take a Flat bottomed Aluminium Cooker. Place a stand inside. Switch on flame and allow it to be on slowest flame.

Beat butter and sugar till light and fluffy.In a bowl whisk together whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add ¾ teaspoon cumin seeds.

Add dry ingredients to butter sugar mixture and mix well till it resembles bread crumbs. Add milk. Begin by adding 2 tablespoons. Knead. Add 2 tablespoons more and knead. Add more milk only if the mixture feels dry. It should come together as soft dough. It should not be sticky.

Roll out a thick chapatti of dough on the floured counter or between dusted sheet. Sprinkle a pinch of cumin seeds. Press them with the roller. Cut out cookies with a cookie cutter. Arrange them on the greased baking tray. I used my round 9 inch cake tin. Cover the lid of the cooker. Don’t attach whistle with it. Allow it to bake for 24-27 mins. First batch will take bit more time , in compare to next batch.

If you want to bake in oven then Preheat oven to 180C. Bake for 12 -15 minutes till the cookies turn golden.

 

 

 

 

Allow it to Cool  completely then  store in an airtight container.

VARIATIONS:

  • I used whole wheat flour. If you are using all purpose flour, you’ll require less milk.
  • I have used Unsalted Butter, if you are using salted butter then adjust the salt quantity accordingly.
  • You can make plain biscuits by avoiding cumin seeds, and adding ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to dough. Adjust quantity of salt accordingly. You might require just a pinch of salt for plain biscuits.

Pin it for later use:::
