Cumin Biscuits

To prepare these delicious cookies, start by sifting the flour into a large bowl. Add the baking powder, which will help the cookies rise beautifully during baking. Then, incorporate the eggs, ensuring they are fresh and at room temperature for easier mixing. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors and a little pepper, which will add a touch of spiciness. Freshly chopped rosemary will provide an enticing aroma and a note of freshness, so feel free to adjust it to taste.

Mix the dry ingredients with a spatula until evenly combined, then add the yogurt, which will bring moisture and make the cookies softer. The butter, cut into cubes, should be soft to integrate easily into the dough. Also, add the cumin seeds, which will provide a distinctive flavor and a pleasant crunch. Quickly knead the dough, being careful not to overwork it, to maintain a light texture.

Once the dough has come together, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour. This step is crucial as it allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out the dough later. After the chilling time has passed, remove the dough and roll it out on a floured surface, forming a thick sheet about 5 mm. Use a knife or a cutter to cut out small-sized cookies, according to your preference.

Transfer the cookies to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush each cookie with lightly beaten egg white to give them a golden and shiny crust. Sprinkle cumin seeds on top, which will add both aesthetics and flavor. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, or until they become golden and fragrant.

After removing them from the oven, let the cookies cool on a rack. This will help maintain their crunchiness. It is recommended to store them in airtight containers to keep their freshness. Although they can be served immediately, their flavor will be even more intense after 1-2 days, when they will become even softer. These cookies are ideal to be enjoyed alongside a cup of tea or coffee, making them a perfect snack for any time of the day.
