Diwali Special Cookies Recipe
A very happy and prosperous Diwali to all the readers. I wish you all the happiness and success in life. It is one festival we always celebrate with great pomp and fare.
I start preparing at least 10 days before the Diwali day for the festivity. Cleaning the entire house thoroughly would be the first thing to do. My hubby dread this part as he is also expected to help me with the bed boxes and lofts. Then comes the making of the dry snacks. And as I have always seen my mom making big baskets full of mathries, shakkerpare, chivda mix and a lot of other snacks, I want to keep the tradition going.
I made rangoli pattern and diya for Diwali. Last year I made these sugar cookies to give Diwali spread a modern twist. The cookies were light and crisp. They were much appreciated and so I want to share them with you all. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients

- Baking soda- ½ tsp
- Butter- 115 gms
- Salt- ¼ tsp
- Confectioner's sugar- 100 gms

- Vanilla extract- 1tsp
For royal icing
- Egg white- 1
- Lemon juice- 1tsp
- Confectioner's sugar- 1½ cups
Method Of Preparation
For cookies
- In a bowl, mix flour, salt and baking soda.
- Beat butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and whisk till mixed.
- Do not over mix other wise the cookies will not keep the shape while baking.
- Add flour and mix to make a soft dough.
Method Of Preparation
- Divide the dough in two equal parts and wrap each part in cling film.
- Refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
- Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Slightly flour the surface and roll the dough to 1/8 inch in thickness.
- Cut the desired shape from the dough using cookie cutters or hand made templates.
Method Of Preparation
- Refrigerate the cut cookies for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 9 minutes, till the edges are lightly browned.
- Cool on a cooling rack.
Method Of Preparation
For the royal icing
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg white and lemon juice for a minute.
- Sift the sugar and add to the egg mixture.
- Whisk for 2-3 minutes.
- You can add more sugar if the icing looks thin.
Method Of Preparation
- If the icing looks thick, add water drop by drop.
- This icing starts to harden very soon.
- So keep it covered when not using.
Decorate as you want.
