3-Ingredient Lemon Tea Cookie Recipe

Tangy and Crisp 3 Ingredient Lemon Tea Cookies  - These tea time biscuits make a yummy snack and are super easy to bake.

My love for baking makes me experiment a lot and my kitchen now feels like a Science lab.

I was sipping a glass of icy lemon tea on a hot summer afternoon and half an hour later these super yummy refreshing 3 ingredient lemon tea flavoured cookies came right out of my oven.

These cookies are super cool [literally]. Bite into the crunchy wheat cookie and feel the tangy lemon fill your mouth. Sounds lovely? Bake away then.

Recipe

 Prep Time           10 minutes

 Cook Time          15 minutes

 Servings              15 cookies

INGREDIENTS

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup Lemon ice tea powder

3/4 cup unsalted butter [soft]

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes.
  2. Sift the whole wheat flour and lemon tea powder together.
  3. Mix in the butter and combine well to get a soft cookie dough.
  4. Shape the cookies and place on parchment lined cookie tray.
  5. Bake in the pre heated oven at 150 C for 12-15 minutes or until the edges start to turn darker.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack and store in an air tight jar once completely cooled.

RECIPE NOTES

  • Oven temperature and time may vary. Look for the lower edges to start browning.
  • I used the lipton lemon ice tea pack for these cookies. [Since this already has sugar, I dint add extra in the cookies]
  • You may reduce the butter by a couple of tablespoons. Everyone at my home loves buttery cookies and so I add it a tad bit generously.

Happy Baking

Whole Wheat Chocolate Banana Loaf Cake

A moist whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake. This eggfree banana cake flavoured with a dash of cinnamon is perfect as a tea time snack. It is another special day. My youngest son’s first birthday. I wanted Adbhut’s first ever cake to be something he would enjoy. Here’s something with his favourite fruit. I am super happy about how this whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake turned out. It is simple, healthy and flavourful at the same time. My home smells all warm and ‘cinnamony’. It is often thought that whole wheat bakes are dense or taste ‘aata -like’. Try this. Its soft, moist and unless you tell its wholewheat no one would guess it. Recipe Cook Time            45 minutes Servings                1 loaf INGREDIENTS 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 and 1/2 tsps baking powder 2 tbsps Cocoa powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder {optional} 1/4 tsp salt 2 Ripe bananas { medium size} 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2

Mom’s Eggless Cake

  I have had this cake since I was 5. Mom would use the little round oven and we would keep peeking into the glass top to see the cake rising. The whole house would smell deliciously warm and I don’t think we ever waited for the cake to cool down, those warm slices would disappear within minutes. Everyone remembers their first bake. Mom’s recipe introduced me into the beautiful world of baking. This is and will always be my favourite recipe. This is perfect for beginners [I baked it when I was 14 and my almost 9 year old did it brilliantly 2 weeks back]. Can’t get simpler than this now, can it? Recipe    INGREDIENTS 2 cups All purpose flour 3/4 tsp Baking soda 1 cup Milk 1/2 cup   Oil 3/4 cup Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla essence INSTRUCTIONS Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. Beat the milk, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together till it turns into a white creamy mix. [or you can simply put all the ingredients in an electric mixer and give it a few whips] Sieve
