December 18, 2019 by maria 14 Comments

Tutti Frutti Cookies recipe with step by step photos. Tutti fruitti cookies is a sweet delight made during Christmas 🙂 What is Tutti Frutti? it’s a colorful confection consisting candied fruits. In India Tutti Frutti are papaya cubed and candied into various colors like green, red and yellow. As a child I loved these cookies and still have special place in my heart for them.

Eggless Tutti Frutti Cookies Recipe – How to make Tutti Frutti Biscuit | Christmas Sweets

In India we have many recipes made from Tutti Frutti like icecream, cookie, cake, bread etc. Even karachi fruit biscuit are similar to these cookies. I have given a slight twist to these cookies have added orange peels, lime zest, glazed cherries, dash of rum and vanilla essence. Generally cardamom powder is added I have added vanilla essence. 

Tutti Frutti Cookies

These cookies are easy to make. I have made added some beetroot water for pink color. Hence some cookies are appearing pink in color. Further I have made them in star, heart and oval shapes. This dough is required to be chilled into the freezer for 20 mins forming into a log shape. Later take a sharp knife and slice into 1/2 inch width. You could cut the dough with cookie cutter but that is slightly difficult. As you would have to roll it out and then give the desired shapes.

I have followed my own recipe with my my own gut hence it comes out well. Sometimes I feel I am a good blind baker wonder if it’s good Or bad 😉 but don’t worry will provide you with appropriate measurements. Overall enjoyed my day today made vegan tutti frutti cake which was a disaster. Later made these cookies and then ginger chocolate bread which was yum. Had guacamole, french fries and corn chili pulao for dinner.

Eggless Tutti Frutti Cookies step by step recipe details follows:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C exactly fifteen mins before baking. But reduce the temperature to 160°C while baking the cookies. Sift flour, cornflour, salt and baking powder. Grease the pans and keep ready.

Notes
It's important to reduce the temperature post preheating the oven else your cookies would not have white color they would look tanned cookies 😉
If your cookies aren't baked bake them for some more time as all oven have different capacity and temperatures.
Also chilling the dough is important for better result.
If you don't have peels Or cherries it's fine juts use tutti frutti.
I have colored some cookies with beetroot water you could use colors to make it look more vibrant

    beautiful recipe Maria. However, I have a basic question. why do you chill the log before cutting out shapes? what’s the purpose behind it? Also, how much time do you thaw or look for before you cut out the shapes from the frozen log? Thanks!

      Shreya when you chill the dough, its easier to form shapes via moulds orc cookie cutter. Also if you slice from a sharp knife into thin rounds then no need to thaw. But if you wanna give shapes from cutter then thaw for 15 mins, till you can give shapes and form to the dough.
