WHOLE WHEAT HEARTY NICE BISCUITS(Hearty whole wheat flour cookies)

‘Nice’ Biscuits is one of my favourite biscuit brands. These sugar-coated biscuits are an absolute delight. I finally tried a similar recipe at home and was ecstatic when I could create the same taste at home so easily with only four ingredients! And this is a healthy version, as usual, made with whole wheat and cane sugar.


INGREDIENTS:
Whole wheat flour 100g
Cane sugar 48g
Butter(room temperature) 50g
Desiccated Coconut 25g
Sugar crystals 1 tablespoon
2 tbsp Beetroot milk ( Beetroot mix with milk and grind like a milkshake )

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. First, cream the butter and cane sugar until light and fluffy. Takes about 4-5 minutes.
2. Add the wheat flour, desiccated coconut and beetroot Milk and form a soft dough. Do not knead.
3. Cover and keep the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour.
   Roll out the dough between two parchment sheets to 1cm thickness.
4. Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the cookies.
5. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray and sprinkle sugar on the top.
6. Bake it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
7. Cool them completely on a wire rack. Store them in an airtight container and it should stay good for ten days.
   

   NOTES:

• Choose the baking time and temperature as per your oven.
• The cookies get baked quickly and have a tendency to get burnt so keep an eye on them.
• Do not over bake, once it starts to turn lightly brown along the edges. Take them out, they will be soft when hot but will harden on cooling.
• The important step here is the creaming process as that would give a good texture to the biscuits.
• I always bake my cookies or biscuits without baking powder so creaming is an essential step to get flaky, melt in mouth biscuits.
