3 Ingredients Cookie Recipe – Indian Recipes
INGREDIENTS
GULAB JAMUN MIX
Firstly, when I say gulab jamun cookies, I do not use freshly made gulab jamuns but I use the PREMIX that is easily available in the market to make these Tea Time Cookies. All you need to do is buy the packet of gulab jamun pre-mix powder and use it in the recipe as required. I like the brand called GITS… Similarly, you also get another brand of gulab jamun premix called ET-MI which I wouldn’t recommend using. MTR is another good brand for this premix
BUTTER
It’s best to use unsalted butter for this recipe as the gulab jamun premix comes with salt added to it. After that, melt the butter and use as required.
POWDERED SUGAR
Weigh regular granular sugar and then grind it into a fine powder. Also, I have mentioned the sugar quantity in accordance with my liking feel free to add less or more as required. I don’t like my cookies too sweet so these are perfect
CARDAMOM POWDER
This adds a lovely flavor to the biscuits. However, if you don’t like the flavor of this spice, feel free to skip it. Similarly, you can even add some almond essence, it adds a good flavor to the cookies as well

Ankita says
Looks tooo yummy, want to try it for my kid,Can you guide me to bake it without oven? I don’t have oven
Alisha Rodrigues says
I’m not really sure but you may try baking it in a cooker. Just put some salt in the cooker at the base (without a whistle) and put a ring on the salt. Place a tray or a vessel over the ring with the cookies. Close the cooker (no whistle ok) and cook for 20 mins or until done. Do this on medium flame and let me know how it turns out too. Should work !!
Ankita says
I tried it, and its totally delicious, but it takes only 15 minutes to bake in cooker also. Thank you
Alisha Rodrigues says
Ah !! Happy you liked it .. glad it came out well even in the cooker
