Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 60 grams unsalted Butter softened
  • 3 tbsp sugar powdered
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp fine semolina sooji
  • 60 grams chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 tbsp milk optional

Instructions

  • Remove 1 tbsp flour from 1 Cup.
  • Sieve together wheat flour, cocoa powder, semolina & baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, beat together butter and castor sugar till light & fluffy. Add vanilla essence. Beat for couple of minutes.
  • Add dry mixture to wet mixture slowly with your finger tips till it resembles bread crumbs. Slowly knead a soft dough with your hands. I had to add 1 tbsp milk as my dough was too crumbly.
  • Wrap the prepared dough in cling film & refrigerate for ½ hour.
  • In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to 180 °C. Grease the baking tray.
  • Remove the dough from fridge, slowly knead it again.
  • Break the dough into small balls and gently press them into discs.
  • Place these discs onto the prepared tray 1 inch apart from sides & each other.
  • With the help of a fork, make small indentations on the upper layer of cookies. If desired, add some chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes till golden brown or done.
  • Cool on a wire rack & allow to cool. Store them in an air-tight container.

Notes

  1. The dough can be refrigerated overnight as well.
  2. If you are in a hurry, chill the dough in freezer for 15 minutes.
  3. Use APF for regular cookies.
