Notes

  1. Every ingredient in the recipe and its quantity has its own significance. Do not alter them.
  2. This recipe is a tried and tested recipe. Substitute the ingredient/s only at your own risk.
  3. You can adjust the servings of this recipe in the “Recipe Card” and all the ingredients and their measurement will automatically adjust.
  4. To switch between grams and cups, use this “Conversion Chart”.
  5. In Cookies, vegetable oil and butter are not interchangeable. Butter not only provide fat to the cookies but also provide structure. Vegetable oil stays fluid in nature and hence will fail to give structure to your cookies.
  6. Do not knead the dough else it will develop the gluten that will result in soft and chewy cookies.
  7. Do not miss to refrigerate the cookie dough. This will avoid cookies spreading while baking.
  8. I have an Idli maker with 5 trays. To avoid burning off the cookies, I have only used to top 4 trays.
  9. I have used 1 kg of regular cooking salt to make the base in the Idli maker.
  10. The salt can be reused multiple times, hence you can store it.
