Jeera Biscuits (Cumin cookies) Recipe

Certainly, here is a recipe for cumin cookies:

Jeera Biscuits (cumin cookies) are sweet, salty, crispy, crunchy and crumbly Indian bakery style cookies, flavored with roasted cumin seeds. 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup cornstarch

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

• In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat in the egg, then mix in the cumin and cinnamon.

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

• Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until firm.

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Slice the chilled dough logs into rounds about 1/4 inch thick and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown around the edges.

• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cumin cookies are a unique twist on traditional cookies and have a warm, fragrant flavor that pairs well with tea or coffee. Enjoy!
