Tutti Fruity Cookies

Description

Buttery & fruity cookies

Ingredients

For cookies

Butter – 120gms – at room temperature
Icing sugar – 100 gms
Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
Maida/ plain flour – 170 gms
Baking powder – ½ tsp
Tutti fruity – 3 tbsp or per taste
Orange juice – 1 tbsp or as needed for dough – optional

For topping (optional)

Demerara sugar (brown sugar)
cinnamon powder

Instructions

In a mixing bowl beat together softened butter and icing sugar with hand whisk in one direction to creamy, light and fluffy.
Add in the essence and beat once.
Sift the flour+baking powder into the creamed butter and beat again once to mix.
Then add in tutti fruity and combine together gently with hands till it forms a dough. Do not over knead the dough. You could add in a tbsp orange juice for a hint of orange flavour or even in case you need to add some moisture to bring the dough together.
May wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate at this pint for about 15 to 30 mins to firm up the dough for easier handling.
Preheat oven @ 1800 OR 1700 C for 10 mins. Grease (and line if preferred) a baking tray. In a plate mix together the coating ingredients.
Shape the dough into walnut sized balls. Dip one side in the coating mixture and flatten slightly as you dip or between palms. Arrange in baking tray. Repeat for entire dough, keeping them in baking tray about 1” apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 mins (or 15 to 20 mins @ 170 C) or till underside is golden and edges start to turn pale.
Remove and transfer to wire rack. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer and store in airtight cookie jars.

Note

For variations you could try Orange Almond cookies – add some orange juice as above for the cookie dough. Then instead of demerara sugar, dip cookies in almond flakes or chopped walnuts.
You could add orange zest also to the cookie dough.
Make choco chip cookies by adding chocolate chips instead of tutti fruity. Skip the topping.
