Preparation method:

  1. Heat a pan, slightly roast cumin seeds and coarsely grind it, set it aside.
  2. Take a mixing bowl, add all purpose flour, coarsely ground cumin, sugar, baking soda and salt, mix well nicely. Add oil and rub it into the flour mixture.
  3. Add the milk and bring everything together till the dough does not stick to the hand. But do not over knead, or they will turn out really hard.
  4. Roll the dough, cut into desired shape and arrange on the prepared baking tray. Pre heat oven for 350 F or 180 C, bake for 20-25 minutes or till the top browns lightly. Remove cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before storing them in air tight containers.

Notes:

  • Roll the dough in to 2mm thickness and cut into your desired shape.
  • It is not possible to cut out so many cookies at one go. Do it in batches and repeat the process till the entire dough has been used up.
  • Always place the tray in the centre of the pre heated oven to cook cookies evenly.
  • Number of cookies depends on the shape and size we make.
  • Do no over knead the dough otherwise cookies will be too hard.

    1. Yes raji...you have to just open and check in between...if it is very hot, you can start baking immediately and also it depends on the oven you are using...
