- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (60 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 20 g Ghee
- 12 g Sugar, powdered
- 25 g Flour, all-purpose
- 3 g Pine nuts
Method
- Beat the ghee and powdered sugar together until light, pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined into a soft, slightly crumbly dough; do not overwork it.
- Shape the dough into small balls or crescents and place them on a lined tray.
- Press a pine nut into the centre of each cookie.
- Bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 20 minutes; they should stay pale and only just set, not browned.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the tray before moving them, since they are very fragile while warm; this makes about 1 serving of 3 cookies.
