Cornmeal, nigella seed cookies (salted and eggless)
When it comes to baking I always follow a recipe to the 'T'.Yes I can't take the risk of playing with measurements when I bake and I have learned this in a hard way. There were initial days of baking when I did not even know there exists cup and spoon measurements. As a consequence I used had disast

- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- ⅓ cups sugar minus fine granulated 1 tbsps
- 100 gms butter at room temperature

- In a medium bowl mix all the dry ingredients flour,cornmeal,baking powder,baking soda,salt,nigella seeds,cumins and chilli flakes.
- In another medium bowl whisk butter till it looks fluffy and pale white in colour.
- Add sugar and whisk till sugar is mixed properly and the mixture looks fluffy.
- Add yoghurt ,whisk for another 4-5 minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix just until everything is incorporated.(don't over mix).
- Roll into balls of equal size(The mixture might be slightly wet but can be handled by hand).
- Place the rolled dough balls in the prepared sheet one inch apart(the cookies will expand slightly while baking). With a fork dipped in flour press the cookies at the center and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 12-15 mins. Cookies might be little soft to touch at the centre,so don't get tempted to bake more time.
