Jeera Biscuits Recipe | Cumin Cookies Recipe
Jeera Biscuits also known as cumin cookies are crunchy savory bites that’s packed with flavor. They are easy to bake at home and actually taste lot better than store ones. I used a mix of wheat and maida, and the jeera with bit of pepper makes it taste too good. It comes out light and crisp.
Servings12 Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup maida
- ½ cup wheat flour / atta
- ½ tablespoon pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- a pinch baking soda
- salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoon oil
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, sugar, salt and oil.
- Add the milk and knead to a stiff dough till its not sticky.
- Roll the dough to about 2 mms thick, but this didn't work out for me as I couldn't roll it evenly so what I did was to press it in the roti maker, this way it was easy and quick!
- Using a cookie cutter cut into round shapes, I used a lid to cut it.
- Now bring together the remaining scrapings, roll out again and repeat the process till the entire dough gets over.
- Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C for 10 minutes.
- Grease the baking tray, arrange the cookies and place the tray in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Jeera Biscuits ready!
- Remove the cookies from the oven, allow it to cool and then store Jeera Cookies in an air tight container.
Notes
- Rolling the dough – Try to roll it evenly for uniform baking. I sometimes press the dough with a roti maker to make it quicker.
- Thickness of cookies – Roll them thinner If you like crispier cookies. For soft center, keep it slightly thick.
- Cutting the shape – I didn’t use any fancy cookie cutter, just took a small lid and cut rounds. You can use any shape you like, just make sure they’re all similar size for even baking.
- Baking time – Keep an eye after 15 minutes, as all ovens are different. Mine took around 20–22 minutes at 180°C. If you like it extra crunchy, you can bake for 2 mins more, but don’t let it brown too much. It depends on the thickness of the cookies so adjust accordingly.
- Cooling before storing – Once baked cool the cookies on a wire rack or plate to cool completely. Don’t store them warm, they’ll turn soft and lose the crunch.
