Nazzy’s Date and Coconut Sugar Cookies

by

With Eid coming up again soon, I was experimenting with ingredients over the weekend. With pantry staples, and a bag of pitted dates, I was able to come up with the following recipe. These cookies were so easy to make, and not too costly either 👏🏽

They could be packaged individually as a gift for your friends or family, or, you could make a quick batch to serve with tea or coffee. Give them a go 💕

Ingredients:

200g caster sugar

200g softened butter

1 beaten egg

1tsp coconut essence 

350g flour

50g desiccated coconut

1/2 a cup of pitted and chopped dates 
Method:

  • Cream the softened butter with the caster sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add to the mixture 1 beaten egg and mix well.
  • Add a tsp of coconut essence 
  • Add in the sifted plain flour, desiccated coconut and chopped dates and mix to form a cookie dough.
  • Allow the dough to rest, and heat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Once rested, roll out the dough and cut into required shapes.
  • Place the cut cookie dough onto lined baking sheets and then bake until golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool, and then decorate and package as required.

Nazzy Bakers Easy Gulab Jamun Recipe!

by

This is a recipe that I fall back on time and time again. It’s such an easy recipe, and they don’t take long to make at all.

Ingredients:

(Dough)
1 cup plain flour

1 cup self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tin condensed milk
Vegetable oil to deep fry

(Sugar Syrup)
2 cups sugar + 2 cups water boiled to form sugar syrup.

Method:
1) Sift the dry ingredients together (flours, baking powder and spices)
2) Pour in the tin of condensed milk and mix until the dry ingredients are combined. The mixture should be sticky, and it does get messy.
3) Once combined, roll bits of the dough into oblong finger like shapes, and leave to rest while the oil is heating.
4) Once the oil is hot, fry the dough fingers until they are cooked through and brown.
5) When fried, place the fingers into the warm sugar syrup and allow them to soak up the syrup.
6) Roll the Gulab Jamuns into desiccated coconut (optional)
7) Serve 😊
