How to make Biskut Suji
Preparing the Dough
In a bowl, combine the pure ghee and sifted icing sugar. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla essence and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the sifted flour, salt, and milk powder to the ghee mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Forming and Baking the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
Take a small portion of the dough (about 7g per cookie). Roll it into a ball.
Place the cookie balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 13 minutes.
Keep an eye on them—Suji cookies should not be too hard; they should have a soft, delicate texture that melts in your mouth.
While the cookies are still slightly warm, mix icing sugar and milk powder in a bowl.
Gently roll each cookie in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
Optional: For a neat presentation, place each cookie in a small paper cup.
This makes them look elegant and organized, whether you’re storing them in jars or serving them on a tray.

FAQS
Can I use regular sugar instead of icing sugar?
Icing sugar is recommended for a smoother texture. Regular sugar may result in a slightly grainy cookie.
Can I use butter instead of ghee?
Ghee provides a distinct flavor and texture to Biskut Suji. While butter can be used as a substitute, it will alter the flavor profile.
How do I store Biskut Suji?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness and crispness.
Can I add cardamom or other spices to the dough?
Yes, you can add a pinch of ground cardamom or your favorite spices to enhance the flavor of the cookies. Add them along with the flour.
What is the ideal cookie weight for even baking?
Aim for approximately 7g per cookie to ensure uniform baking and a consistent texture.
