Sugar Cookies


As Christmas is around the corner,wanted to share some Holiday themed cookies.When I was listing down the recipes,my son suggested to share the sugar cookies.
Coming to the recipe,the cookies are crunchy and mouth melting,my lil one had 3-4 cookies as soon as I took it from the oven.
The icing part is little time consuming and I am not happy with my icing as well as my pictures.By the time I finished my icing,it was around 3 PM and getting dark.Kids were waiting to taste the cookies,will update the pictures soon.Lets move on to the recipe.....

      Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

      Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
