Ingredients
- 1 Cup Whole wheat flour (130 g)
- ½ Cup Powdered sugar
- ½ Cup Ghee (clarified butter) semi-solid Or butter
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven @180°C for 10 minutes. Grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl add the semi-solid ghee and powdered sugar.
- Whisk them well using a wired whisk or a spoon until smooth and creamy.
- Seive in the flour and salt (if using) into the ghee sugar mixture.
- Mix and combine them together well and make a dough. If required add few tbsps ghee or water/milk.
- On a clean surface place the dough and flatten the dough with hand or with the help of rolling pin. Thickness should be not too thin nor too thick. I did about ½ inch thickness. You can do it as per your preference.
- With a cookie cutter cut them into desired shapes. If cookie cutter is not available, you may use bottle cap or rim of steel cup to give the shape.
- Place the cookie in the greased tray keeping some gap in between.
- Bake at preheated oven @180°C for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Mine got baked at 20 minutes. But I baked again extra 5 minutes for extra crispiness and brown bottom. It was so perfect.
- Baking time depends upon the thickness of your cookies and your oven temperature. Start checking from 15 minutes onwards.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let it stand in the baking tray for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer them on a wired rack and let it cool down completely.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container only once the cookies has cool down completely. Enjoy these whole wheat ghee cookies with tea or coffee.
