Recipe For Egg-less Walnut Cookie

Ingredients

• Maida (All Purpose Flour) - 1.5 cups

• Sugar - 1 cup
• Butter/ Ghee - 1 cup (at room temperature)
• Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
• Baking Powder - 1 tsp
• Chopped Walnuts - 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup

Method

1. Cream the butter and sugar together with a wooden stick or with an electric blender.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the maida, rava, 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts and baking soda.
3. Mix this with the creamed butter sugar mixture. Knead everything together to form a soft dough.
4. The butter should be just enough to make a soft dough. If needed add just 1 or 2 spoons of milk.
5. Pinch small balls out and shape it into small cookies. Press some more chopped nuts on top.
6. Alternatively, roll out the dough and cut out different shapes using a cookie cutter.
7. Bake it for 15 minutes in a 350 degree F oven.
