Crunchy Cookies
I saw the recipe for ‘Crunchy Cookies’ on a TV cookery show. I liked the recipe since it looked quite simple, very few ingredients which I had at home, it needed only Wheat Flour and the cookies were baked for just 10 mins, in the microwave of course! So it gave me a chance to utilize my microwave for something other than just reheating.
I made them and sent them to my sweet little nieces (aged 2 and 4) in Mumbai; it’s a fantastic ‘Khau’(snack) for small kids.
These ‘Crunchy Cookies’ are also my Christmas present to Zuzana of Zlamushka’s spicy Kitchen. I know Christmas is still far away but I am sending them for her blog event ‘ A Spoonful of Christmas’!
Zuzana please accept my Christmas present!

Crunchy Cookies recipe
makes ~ 12-14 cookies
_____________________________________________________
1 Cup Wheat Flour, sieved
¾ Cup Powdered sugar, sieved (The original recipe asked for 1 cup sugar)
½ cup Butter (cold)
1 cup crunchy Cornflakes
1 egg
Cold water if required for kneading.
Mix the Wheat flour and sugar.
Add cold butter. I used Amul butter. If you are using unsalted butter add a pinch of salt to it.
Rub in the butter with the Flour-sugar mixture. The mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the egg and mix nicely.
Add a little cold water if the mixture is too dry.
Add the cornflakes and mix nicely. The mixture should be cold. If it is not cold refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes.
Grease a microwave proof dish/tray.
Drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto it .
`
Bake in the combi (convection/microwave) mode for 7-8 minutes or till the cookies become crisp.
Alternatively bake them at 180oC.
Allow cookies to cool on baking tray for 5 minutes and then remove them on the wire rack to cool completely.
Variation:I made 1 lot with the above recipe. To the next lot I added 2 tbsp drinking chocolate and they tasted yummy.

Oh, thank you so much for these crunchy cuties. I am sure your little ones loved them. Isnt there a special charm in making other people happy by seeing them nibbling on something sweet? I would cook a universe to Tompa…

Interesting recipe and this is something we can try out on the spur of the moment since all the ingredients are generally available to home. I tried this out today and it came out well, though it took more than 10 mins, almost 25 mins for 1 batch. Any tips on how to speed up the process?
