Eggless Snickerdoodle Cookies

Eggless Snickerdoodles
December is here .... the holiday season with gifts, cakes, cookies and the festive spirit. Snickerdoodles are Cinnamon Sugar coated soft cookies, especially made during this festive season of Christmas. When it comes to baked goodies, we enjoy the eggless version more. Hope you guys like it too.

Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour/Maida - 1 1/2 cups
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Sour Cream - 1/2 cup
Unsalted Butter - 1/4 cup (4 tbsp)
Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp

Sugar - 2 tbsp
Ground Cinnamon/Dalchini Powder - 2 tsp
Ground Nutmeg/Jaiphal Powder - 1/8 tsp (optional)

How to bake Eggless Snickerdoodle Cookies:
  • In a mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients - all purpose flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add about 1/4 tsp salt too, if you like. Mix and keep it aside.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add (room temperature) softened butter, sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla extract. Mix all the ingredients well, using a whisk or a spoon. If you want the cookies to be a bit more sweet, add 2 tbsp more sugar.
  • Now add the dry ingredients, little at a time. Mix with a spoon, until both wet and dry ingredients blend to form a sticky dough.
  • On a big plastic food wrap, place the dough and shape it like a log/roll. Freeze the dough for about 30 minutes. Freezing will harden the dough, making it less sticky and easier to handle. Cut the frozen dough into 15 - 20 balls, depending on how big or small, you want the cookies to be.
  • You can skip this freezing step and scoop out round balls using an ice-cream scoop.
  • Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.
  • In a small plate, add 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Mix well. Coat the dough balls in this cinnamon sugar. Place them on an ungreased baking tray, each one few inches apart. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes.
  • After baking, the cookies will spread and double in size. Also, cracks will appear in the center of the cookies. After cooling completely, the cookies will harden. Bake it for couple more minutes, in case you want the cookies to be crunchy and not soft.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
