HEALTHY BESAN-ALMOND COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

besan (gram flour)   300 gm

all purpose flour   125 gm

semolina    85 gm

salted butter ,softened    225 gm

unrefined cane sugar   100 gm

salt    1/2 tsp

crushed black pepper   1/2 tsp

baking powder   1 tsp

almonds, halved   25-30

METHOD

Mix the sugar with the softened butter. Whisk until fluffy and well combined. 

Sift together the flours, salt, baking powder and the pepper. Make sure that you air it well during this process

Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter and sugar and knead well to form a nice dough. Divide the dough into equal sized balls. Roll the balls on your palms and shape them into cookies. This dough does not give you a smooth cookie so don’t worry if they crack a bit. Shape them the best you can and decorate with half an almond.

Preheat the oven to 180 deg. C (Gas Mark 4 or 350 F) for 10 minutes. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cookies giving them enough space to breathe.

Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown. These burn quite easily so do keep an eye on the oven, as the temperature varies largely from oven to oven.
