EGGLESS STRAWBERRY JAMMY COOKIES
Ingredients:
For the cookies
Cold Butter - 75gms
Sugar - 50gms
Almond Flour / Ground Almonds - 20gms
All Purpose / Whole wheat flour - 150gms
Others
Some Orange Zest
Lime juice
Milk - 1 to 2 tbsp
Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp
For the strawberry jam
Strawberry - 100gms
Sugar - 3 tbsp
Method
To begin with, blend together butter, sugar and flours to a sandy, grainy texture. To this, add the orange zest and vanilla essence. Now, add in 1-2 tbsp of milk just to bind the dough.
Blitz the mixture for 1-2 pulses and transfer to a mixing bowl. Combine the dough and once it comes together, place it on a parchment paper, flatten it and place another paper on top. Roll the dough to a thickness of 0.5mm or 1/2 cm. Be very gentle through the process and ensure that the thickness is even.
Now, place it onto a tray and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, for the strawberry jam, wash and chop the strawberries. Blend them coarsely.
Add in the sugar to this and microwave for 2-3 minutes in bursts of 1 minute. (You can also cook this on the gas on a low flame.) The colour of the jam will change and it will get deeper. Add in the lime juice at this stage and mix it. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, remove the dough and make the cookies using the cookie cutters. I have used round ones for the base and heart shaped ones for the window. Transfer the cookies onto a tray, lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes at 180 degrees C in a preheated oven.
Once the edges start to brown, remove and cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. Finally, spread some strawberry jam onto the round ones and sandwich them with the heart cut out ones. Serve immediately.
Some Pointers:
Whenever zesting citrus peels, make sure to just grate thrice at one spot. Grating more will add the bitter white peel too.
While making a cookie dough, be gentle and just combine the ingredients well. Over-kneading will develop gluten which causes the cookies to become tough.
While baking cookies or biscuits, always line your tray with parchment paper (Not butter paper). It controls the baking temperature and also gives a perfect golden brown colour to your baked goods.
While making cookies, freezing the cookie dough for 30 minutes prior to baking limits their spread by solidifying the fat. It also improves the texture of your final product.
Always add lime or lemon juice towards the end, once you finish cooking. This prevents the loss of Vitamin C in limes and lemons and prevents it from getting bitter.
