Thank you for this recipe. Cookies turned out great!! Question about vinegar: will the cookie texture be different if vinegar is not added?
welcome ami and thanks for sharing the feedback. yes the texture of cookies will be different if vinegar is skipped. it will less soft.
Thanks!!!
What’s the alternative for curd.
overall add 2 to 3 teaspoons vinegar instead.
Can we use all purpose flour or maida instead of wheat flour
yes you can use all purpose flour (maida). just add less milk while binding as maida require less liquids for binding.
can i make it in bati cooker or pressure cooker? If yes , please let me know the procedure.
you can make the cookies in a pressure cooker. to bake any cake or cookies in the pressure cooker, you can check this detailed method shared on this link – https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/pressure-cooker-cake-recipe/
just keep the cookies instead of cake batter in the pan. also less time will be needed for the cookies to bake.
can i skip vinegar or is it possible to substitute it with some other ingredient?
you can skip vinegar.
Idk maybe my microwave is different but it’s manual suggests time for convection mode to be set at 50 minutes. And i don’t think you specified the time for microwave so should it be the same as the time for oven? (15-25minutes)
Also I can’t really tell if the cookies are cooked or not. I baked them for like 12-13minutes but they haven’t turned golden but have become a bit hard. Please help.
for convection mode of microwave oven, preheating time is 15 minutes. its same as that for a regular oven. the time of baking will differ though as each oven has a different temperature. but generally in a microwave oven the baking is faster due to the fan in it.
you can press the cookies with a spoon or your fingertips. it there is no impression on them, then it means the cookies are baked. be careful when pressing with fingers as the cookies are hot. if the cookies are baked too much, they will turn hard.
