Description
Besan cookies are a delightful fusion of traditional cookies with the distinct flavor and texture of chickpea flour. These cookies are known for their unique crumbly texture and rich flavor profile, combining the nuttiness of besan with the sweetness of sugar.
Ingredients:
Besan (gram flour or chickpea flour)
Butter, softened
Powdered sugar
Cardamom powder
Baking powder
Salt
Optional: chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios), saffron strands
To prepare besan cookies, softened butter and powdered sugar are creamed together until light and fluffy. Besan, cardamom powder, baking powder, and salt are then gradually incorporated into the mixture until a smooth dough forms. Optional ingredients such as chopped nuts or saffron strands may be added for additional flavor and texture.
Once the dough is prepared, it is shaped into small rounds or pressed into molds to create decorative shapes. The cookies are then placed on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
The besan cookies are baked in a preheated oven until golden brown and fragrant. After baking, they are allowed to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before being transferred to a wire rack to cool completely.
Besan cookies can be enjoyed as a delightful snack or dessert, perfect for pairing with a cup of tea or coffee. Their unique flavor and crumbly texture make them a beloved treat in Indian households and a favorite for special occasions.
