    Eggless Cottage Cheese Cookies / Eggless Paneer Cookies

    September 7, 2017 By Anlet Prince 15 Comments

    Eggless Cottage Cheese Cookies / Eggless Paneer Cookies are Crisp and Crumbly. They are best to enjoy with a cup of chai/tea/Coffee or even a cup of hot milk. In particular they are delightful snacks with evening tea. I have used whole wheat flour as the base flour. Cottage Cheese and Butter are the Key ingredients that makes the cookies rich in taste. So Today's Ingredients for the Protein Rich BM theme is Cottage Cheese and Butter. I have used Jaggery powder as the sweetener.

    Cottage Cheese Cookies / Paneer Cookies

    Cottage Cheese Cookies are crunchy and soft tea time snacks.
    Prep Time15 mins
    Cook Time30 mins
    Total Time45 mins
    Course: Snack
    Cuisine: Indian
    Servings: 15 Cookies

    Ingredients

    • 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
    • ¼ Cup Butter
    • ½ Cup Scrambled Cottage Cheese / Paneer
    • ⅓ Cup Jaggery Powder
    • ¾ Teaspoon Baking Powder
    • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
    • ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    • ¾ Teaspoon Lemon Zest

    Instructions

    • Add in Whole Wheat flour, Baking Powder and Baking soda in a mixing bowl. Sift the mixture 2 or 3 times to remove any lumps from the mixture and to blend well.
    • Add in the jaggery powder and mix them gently. Add in Scrambled cottage cheese and mix them.  Add in the vanilla extract and mix them gently.
    • Add in the Lemon Zest and mix them gently.
    • Add in the butter little by little and knead the flour into a smooth dough.
    • Flatten them in a smooth surface using a rolling pin. Choose your desired cookie cutter and shape them.
    • Preheat the oven at 180 deg C for 10 minutes. Get ready with the Baking tray. Place a parchment paper and grease them with butter. Arrange the shaped cookies.
    • Place them in the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 180 deg C. Or until the sides start darkening.
    • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool down completely.
    • Remove the cookies from the baking tray slowly and serve them.

    Notes

    • The amount of butter and cottage cheese that I have added was enough for me to knead the flour into a smooth dough. If this mixture is still powdery add in luke warm water to make the dough.
    • The baking time completely depends on the size of the cookies.
    • The cookies get harder when they cool down. So do not overbake or they get harder.
