Suji Cookies

Like a customary, must have, no matter what, do or die, Suji Cookies are a must for us Indians and made before Deepavali/The Festival Of Lights? If you are asking, its a big yes. I can't still remember sitting in a line, as though like in the factory and rolling, as well as putting the cherries atop the raw unbaked cookies before they going and coming out of the oven. Of course, over the many years, mum has given up and nothing much on my side as well. But Suji Cookies will forever be memorable. That's why once I completed my mission to Cayenne Chocolate Cookies, Nyonya Pineapple Cookies and Chinese Peanut Cookies, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Suji Cookies. Not a brain cracker anyway and pretty much ingredients easily available anywhere, these ghee scented and loaded tiny cute, pretty and attractive Suji Cookies are definitely crumbly and outside crusty sugar pops (Rava Laddu & Rava Kesari).


Ingredients
1/4 cup ghee or butter
1/2 cup self rising flour
1/4 cup semolina flour
1/4 cup castor sugar
Cherries - chopped . 
Method
Except for cherries, combine all the ingredients. 
Mix together to form a dough.
Pinch bit by bit and roll into small balls. 
Place the balls apart from each other on baking tray lined with baking paper.
Press cherry on each ball. 
Bake at 160C for 20 minutes or till cookies are golden yellow.

  23. i tried this to the dot for deepavali :-) . Taste was nice but it didnt turn out as pretty as your picand was a bit flat. Next time will add a bit more flour to hold it up together and reduce the soogee. Also i found , the soogee if used the finer one should come up better. Super simple recipe, will let you know how it goes after tweaking it.
