Jeera Biscuits / Cumin Flavored Cookies



Being a sweet tooth family,we love to have salty version of cookies a lot than the sugar cookies.When we were in NJ used to get these biscuits from the popular shop Hot breads.But after moving to PA miss those goodies a lot.But never forget to visit the shop when we are travelling to NJ.
Coming to this recipe I noted down roughly when I was watching this in a T.V show long time back and slightly altered it to our taste.In the original recipe,a tbs of custard powder is used and the amount of sugar given is around 6 tbs.Since I ran out of custard powder,didn't use it,the cookies were so crunchy and turned out good.This cookies stayed fresh even after two weeks,lets move on to the recipe................................................
