Ingredients

  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • cup Butter – softened
  • 4 tbsps Yogurt (original recipe had only 2-3 tbsp, but I added a little more than 4tbsp to get the correct consistency of the dough)
  • 4 tsps Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsps Pepper
  • 2 tbsps Cilantro – finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment papers and set aside.
  • Whisk flour, salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl, until light and fluffy. Add 2tbsp yogurt and continue to beat.
  • Next add flour mixture and beat slowly. The mixture was pretty dry, so I used my hands to incorporate all the ingredients and added an additional 2tbsp of yogurt to make a smooth, non-sticky dough. Add chopped cilantro and work it into the dough.
  • Roll the dough into ¼” thickness.
  • Use cookie cutter or bottle lids to cut the cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Notes

 
 
Enjoy with a cup of tea (You can tell from my half filled cup that I'm not a tea drinker :-) . We usually serve a sweet (dessert) with a hot (savory) when serving tea, so I made Champa's Ricotta coconut fudge. The only modification I made to the recipe is that I added 1 cup of coconut powder along with 1 cup of roasted ground cashews, this is one quick and easy dessert that can whipped up in no time. Thanks to Champa for both the recipes and thanks to Valli for choosing this savory snack for ICC.
