Notes

  • If swapping APF to whole wheat flour ( 1:1) , then use ½ teaspoon of ACV in the recipe.
  • If cookie dough is too tight , then use 1-2 tablespoon of buttermilk or milk in the recipe to loosen it.
  • When cookies are out from the oven , even if it is slightly soft at the centre , i'ts perfect . Give a siting time of 5 to 7 minutes in the baking tray itself . Heat from the baking tray is enough to harden the cookies and then transfer it on a wired rack to cool further.
  • For more crisper and firmer cookies just like biscuits , you may need to bake for extra 2 -3 minutes.
