Recipe for delicious south indian tea kadai/tea shop bakery style butter biscuits/cookies. Crispy Iyengar bakery Indian cookies recipe. Salt Biscuit.

I can say a few things about most of the south Indian men and women. They love bakery butter biscuits. Some might not eat a cake but will never say no to a cookie. Trust me on this. Especially if its butter biscuits. These cookies are the real deal. These are the cookies that we love to eat all the time. These cookies are the true spirit of the French Normandy Sable cookies. They are so good and elegant with crispy exterior, tender interior and a bite full of buttery goodness. One bite and its so nostalgic. During college days in Chennai, I have had these cookies with my friends almost everyday. We used to gather around the tea shop during break hours, have a tea and share the cookies and chat for hours. Tea shops were the places where best of the ideas were born.

Lets crank up the mixer and make some greatest butter cookies. Shall we? Sift half a cup (65 grams) of confectioners sugar over half a cup (110 grams) of butter.

Cream the butter and sugar mixture until light and fluffy. Oh yes. Good things take time. I promise your patience shall be rewarded. Scrape the bowl once to make sure the butter and sugar is properly combined. Scraping is good.

Add 1 cup (130 grams) of flour (maida), 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract at once and mix for 15 seconds on low.

Scrape the bowl again! Mix for a minute and we are done!

Transfer the dough to a plastic cling wrapped surface and make a log. cover it with cling wrap.

Refrigerate the dough for an hour. Even over-nite is fine.

Cut the dough into half inch thick cookies.

Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven for 22-25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. When they start to brown, they are done. Have an eye as they can go from brown to burnt very fast!

Transfer to a cooling rack for 15-20 minutes.

And Voila! The best cookies of my lifetime!

Long live the tea shops. Amen.

Fudge Brownies, Healthy Low-Fat Fudge Brownies Recipe.

Easy and healthy recipe for low-fat rich decadent fudge brownies. Very chocolaty and made from scratch. Adapted from Americas test kitchen.

Its Brownie time. The legendary American Brownie made lighter. I have a rule that I follow when I bake. If I have to label something as healthy, Vegan or gluten-free, then it needs to be as delicious as the regular one. This low-fat brownie is very moist, fudgy and chocolaty. It combines both chocolate and cocoa powder for a deep chocolate flavor. The traditional brownie can pack in nearly 200 calories whereas this one has just about 100.

• 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 50 grams dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup low-fat cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white

1. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line and butter an eight inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Let the paper be overflowing the edges of the pan so removing the brownies later will be easier.
2. Sift the flour,cocoa, baking powder and salt over a medium bowl.
3. Melt butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water.
4. Add sugar,cream,vanilla, egg and egg white to the chocolate-butter mixture. Whisk until combined.
5. Fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until combined.
6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula spread and smooth the mixture in the pan.
7. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Roughly about 20-25 minutes.
8. Cool the brownies on a wire rack for about an hour. Then cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Cooling in the refrigerator helps in cutting the brownies.
9. Cut the brownies into 2 inch pieces and serve

Notes

I used Hersheys natural cocoa powder and Amul low-fat cream. Store in the refrigerator for upto 3 days.
