My Best Homemade Cookies

Tutti Frutti Cookies Eggless

Candied Fruit Cookies are popularly known as tutti-frutti cookies. Close to my heart as these were the cookies that I used to eat in my childhood. More than eating the cookie, the fun was in eating the cooking and saving the tutti-frutti to eat all of them together at the end. The thought itself brings a big curve on my face.

The love of these cookies will never end and today I am sharing this love with you.

I have always liked Jeera Cookies. My Grandma used to make it for me and more than sweet cookies, I liked the salty cookies. But here at my place, I did not have the privilege of eating Grandma baked cookies.

So I had to make my own experiment and recipe.  And while making an experiment, I used gram flour and vegetables too in this amazing cookie recipe.

Best Homemade Cookies Basics

Let’s run through with some Cookie baking basics.

Regular cookie dough is = 3 times flour, 2 times fat, 1-time sugar.

Flour & Fat

Cookies are typically made with refined flour or all-purpose flour. Organic, bleached, or unbleached all are interchangeable in the recipe and have a negligible difference in the taste and texture. Unbleached is, however, a better choice.

I recommend using butter in your cookies. Using shortening will change the taste and texture of your recipe. Butter has a lower melting point than shortening and hence the difference in taste and texture.

You get unsalted and salted butter in the market. Different companies have different levels of salt in their butter and hence using unsalted butter is preferred in cookies. This way you will know how much salt you are actually using in your cookies.

If you make a recipe with butter and the same recipe with shortening, butter cookies are going to be thinner than cookies made with shortening.

Sweetener and Leavener

Brown sugar will absorb the moisture from the recipe making the cookies chewy whereas white sugar will keep the recipe crispier. Both types of sugar can be used in the same quantity in a recipe depending on whether you need crispy cookies or chewy cookies.

Baking powder and Baking soda are used as the leavening agents in the cookies. Baking soda neutralized the ingredients acidic levels. On the other side, the baking powder gives a light and cakey texture to the cookies.

Tip: If your cookies turn out to be less chewy and they puff out more, increase the quantity of sugar. Alternatively, if you want your cookies to be crispier, increase the amount of fat in your cookies.
