Spiced Beet Sugar Cookies

   Cookies are my favorite munchies as these are easy to make with few ingredients; I prefer to make them often.

 

  For this month’s taste and create, I was paired with camila of culinary Adventure with Camilla. I searched through her blog and finalized this beet cookie recipe. I made this cookie as eggless.

 It was easy to make and was so delicious and colorful. I replaced half of the flour with the wheat flour and butter with canola oil and castor sugar with brown sugar.

Requirements:

All purpose flour – 1 cup

Wheat flour – 1 cup

Baking powder – ½ tsp

Grated beetroot – 4 tbs

Milk – 4 tbs

Vanilla extract – ½ tsp

Grounded cardamom – a pinch

Grounded cinnamon – a pinch

Grounded Nutmeg – a pinch

Grounded dry Ginger – a pinch

Method :

Sift the flours and baking powder together twice or more.

In a bowl , add the butter and sugar , whisk well.

Add in the oil and brown sugar, whisk again.

Add the grated beetroot and mix well.

Add in the spices and essence , mix well.

Now , add the flour mixture little at a time and mix well.

Add more milk if the dough was dry.

Knead into a smooth and soft dough and cover in a cling wrap.

Refrigerate the dough for atleast one hour.

Roll out the dough into ¼ inch thickness and ct into desired shape with the cookie cutter.

Arrange in the baking tray with 1 cm gap between each.

Refrigerate again for five minutes to harden the cookies.

Bake in the preheated oven for 220 * C for 20 minutes or till the cookies are slightly brown on edges and crisp.

Cool for 5 minutes and store.

Spiced beet sugar cookies are ready to serve.
