Spicy Jeera Biscuits ( Cumin Cookies )
Spicy Jeera biscuits/ cookies are savoury biscuits loaded with jeera, mint leaves, and spicy chilies. It is a simple and easy recipe to make in an hour.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter ( room temperature )
- 3 teaspoon jeera ( cumin )
- 1 mint leaves ( handful )
- 2 green chillies ( long chilli )
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt ( to taste )
Instructions
- In a wide bowl, sieve all the dry ingredients together.
- To the dry ingredients, add unsalted butter ( room temperature ) and rub with the tip of your fingers to form a crumbly mixture, as shown in the picture.
- Add jeera and finely chopped mint and green chilies to the crumbly flour mixture.
- Gently mix the finely chopped mint and green chilies until it is well combined.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the jeera cookie dough. Roll the dough according to your desired thickness. Meanwhile preheat oven to 180*C. I used Microwave convection oven.
- Place the shaped cookie dough on a greasing tray and bake it for thirteen to fifteen minutes. After baking, cool it on a cooling rack before storing it in an airtight container.
- Perfectly baked jeera biscuits/ cookie is ready to munch.
- Spicy Jeera biscuits/ cookies are a perfect snack to munch anytime with hot chai (tea) or coffee. I always love to have a hot coffee. This biscuit is also the best snack for kids during holidays and school.
Notes
If you want to avoid all-purpose flour, alternate with whole wheat flour or a 50: 50 ratio of both.
Kids may not prefer green chilies. You can skip green chilies and use only jeera and mint leaves. Another option is you can use only jeera for this recipe.
If you like chunkier biscuits/ cookies, roll out the dough a little thicker. Baking time will increase, so keep an eye.
