January 22, 2015 by maria 12 Comments

Eggless Vanilla Cookie recipe is an easy recipe to make home at any time of the day. The cookies are soft, crunchy from out and just melts in your mouth. It’s a good high tea snack. Better to make them home as you could control the fat and the sugar at your end unlike the store ones 😉

Once you know to make the basic of cookie recipe then you could make any kind of cookie. That’s why they say your basic foundation should be strong to go further beyond. You could mix cocoa powder, orange juice etc and play with the cookie dough. Never know you might come up with your own variation of cookie which you or your family could be proud of !

Eggless Vanilla Cookie Recipe

I remember when I had made the first time my pet had become a huge fan of Vanilla Cookie. She is constantly wagging tail and asking me for it. This Vanilla Cookie is quite similar to nankhatai biscuits quite popular in India. But there is a slight difference as you use vanilla extracts, butter in vanilla cookie and cardamom powder, clarified butter in nankhatai’s. I have also use milk powder in this recipe however that’s optional.

I haven’t used vanilla bean but used vanilla powder instead. Further to give added vanilla flavor have used pure vanilla extracts. If you don’t have vanilla powder you could use vanilla pod. Just scrape the seeds out and use them for the cookies. Alternatively you could use pure vanilla extract or vanilla essence for the cookie. All you need is vanilla flavor so make use of any of the above stated things. You could decorate cookies with nuts. I just love plain vanilla flavor hence didn’t added nuts but you could add them.

Eggless Vanilla Cookie Recipe

Let’s make step by step eggless vanilla cookies recipe:

1. Preheat oven at 180°C exactly 15 mins before baking. Grease baking tray with butter Or olive oil. Sift flour, corn flour, baking powder, salt.

2. Add vanilla powder.

3. Combine all the dry ingredients nicely.

5. Add milk and beat again.

6. Also add the vanilla extract and mix nicely.

7. Gradually fold in the flour with the help of spatula into three batches.

8. It should look like this.

9. Chill the dough for 15-20 mins or leave aside to rest for some time. I don’t have a pic for this one.

10. Make small balls and place them at a distant with each other on the greased dish / tray. I haven’t made the cookies very flat as wanted them slightly soft. But you could flatten them more if you wish to have a crispy cookie.

11. Rub some oil or butter towards the bottom of the glass. You could use a proper glass I have used a metal glass as got hold of that while making these 😉 …. Press the bottom over the balls gently pressing them to round.  Alternatively you could flatten the balls gently with your palm and place them on the greased dish.

12. Make criss-cross pattern with toothpick or fork.

13. Bake in a preheated oven at 180º C for 14 mins or until light brown towards the edges. Cookies they might appear soft but would harden as they cool. So please Please don’t over-bake them.

14. Allow to cool down. Once at room temperature then store them in air tight container. Serve your eggless vanilla cookies with tea or coffee or hot chocolate milk.

    Glad to see a cookie post from you. Your description does make me want to try these. Sometimes all we want is one classic flavor in a cookie and these vanilla cookies are just the ones to satisfy the craving. Well done.
