Rich and Flavorful cookies with saffron. Saffron cookies are addictive tea time snacks. Kids can’t say no to this Crunchy delight.  Egg-less/ Eggfree cookies tastes delicious. Saffron cookies are perfect holiday treats.

From now on I will be less active in TMF. It is vacation for me. Whether I go India or Amma comes here I do nothing but sitting in couch and enjoying my break. I am not going to cook for a while, After posting few recipes I have already drafted it is going to Amma’s samayal posts😊

Last Thursday my parents came and I know I won’t be active that weekend as my sister also visited us for a short 3 days trip. I kept this Saffron Cookies ready in draft but weekend just went super quick as always I become lazy. Today Amma reminded me not to take break like last year and yes here is the post.

Saffron gives amazing flavor to the cookies and of course lovely color which will definitely please the toddlers/ kids.
My son always complains that I make cookies only in White/ brown, but now their is one more color without adding food color. With kids it is not always the taste but look, texture etc.

Other cookie recipe from TMF,

Other Cookie recipe to try

Butter biscuit

Tofu cookies

1 minute microwave cookies

Almond flour cookies

Eggless Whole wheat walnut cookies

Custard powder cookies

Double chocolate cookies

I love baking dishes with butter. Even while baking, the aroma makes the cookies so addictive. Butter compliments the saffron cookies well. Usually most of my baking involves keeping butter in room temperature. This one is handy. Microwave the butter for a minute. Whether it is ghee or melted butter these cookies are always the winner. You can also use brown butter.

Little salt and cardamom powder enhance the saffron taste and makes the cookie super yum. My favorite part of this cookie is the tool used for mixing. No whisk/electric or hand mixer. Hands work perfect for the dough. Gently kneaded dough makes delicious Saffron cookies.

Usually I use powdered sugar for cookies. Instead of buying confectionery sugar I decided to powder it at home. Pulsing the milk and saffron gave perfect color to the cookies, and grinding the sugar along with it is super easy.

Cookies can be prepared within 30 minutes. 12 -15 minutes for baking and max 15 minutes for end to end cookie making process. Cookies stays good for weeks if kept in air tight containers. 

Did I forgot to mention that these cookies are egg less, yes if you are looking for a rich tasty egg- free cookies this one is definitely for you

Notes

  1. I have tried the same recipe with wheat flour but saffron flavor is predominant with All-purpose-flour
  2. Adjust the sugar according to your taste
  3. Castor sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar. Avoid grinding the sugar if you are using powdered sugar
  4.  Saffron can be soaked in warm milk, instead of pulsing it with milk
  5. Almond/pistachio/cashew can be added for extra crunch and richness
  6. Cardamom powder can be used instead of seeds
  7.  If you prefer to shape the cookies. Leave the dough for an hour and roll it using roller. Cut into desired shape
  8.  Brown butter can be used instead of melted butter
  9. Cinnamon powder, vanilla etxract, almond extract, nutmeg etc. can be added for extra flavour
  10. +/- tsp of milk might be required for the dough
