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.

….And Plagiarism Continues!
I never thought someone would like to steal my photos too till TBC informed me about this. J Thanks a lot TBC for informing me. Lots of hugs to you!
This is a screenshot of the Paneer Pakoda photo on My Food court:
And this is a screen shot of the stolen photo on this site:
This intelligent person does not have the comments section open; so that no one should complain about the plagiarized photos, nor did I find an Email ID through which I can ask this person to remove my stolen photo from the site.
So this is a notice to Sathy (whoever you are) to
‘Please remove the photo of Paneer pakodas from your blog immediately’.
I hope you know, you cannot steal anyone’s photos/content without that person’s permission or without giving due credits to the blog.
If you like my photo so much at least put a link back to My Foodcourt!
