Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g Gulab Jamun Mix
  • 170 g Plain Flour
  • 130 g Unsalted Butter
  • 150 g Castor Sugar
  • 5 tablespoon Milk
  • 2 tablespoon Rosewater
  • ½ teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • Saffron, a few strands
  • 10 g Almond flakes For decoration

Instructions
 

  • Add the saffron strands to the milk and let them infuse into the milk.
  • Cut the butter into cubes and set aside to come to room temperature.
  • Cream the butter and sugar, until pale and creamy. This is so the sugar is evenly distributed and dissolved in the butter.
  • Now add the flour, Gulab Jamun mix and cardamom powder. Mix until you get a crumbly dough.
  • Create a well in the middle of your mix and add the rosewater and saffron infused milk. Mix to combine until the dough comes together.
  • Preheat oven to 170ºC (fan assisted oven)
  • Prepare the baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Pinch 30g of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Set on the baking tray. Repeat this process for the remaining dough. If you weigh each portion to be 30 g, you should get 26 balls.
  • Press down gently onto each cookie on the tray. Just flatten the top a little and press an almond flake into them.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes and then rotate the tray and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes till golden brown.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the cookies rest until they cool down.
