Masala Cheese Cookies

Masala Cookies are biscuits that you find in bakeries in Kerala.. You will find different coloured cookies sweet, salty and spicy and they look so tempting!  Whenever guests visited our home in Kerala, we looked forward to the Mixed cookies that they would bring along with them.  Our Grandmother used to give us all biscuits with our tea.  I especially liked the one with pepper flavour!

I tried making the  Masala Cheese cookies 2 years ago and they all got burnt and hard... as I was not aware of the settings and had to throw away all of them :(.  I dared to make them again recently but his time with lots of patience and the result was very good...It had a lovely flavour of all the masala and the cheese.

It was a Friday and since I had around 2 hours of time in hand after making the breakfast and Ria's Tiffin, I decided to bake these Cookies.  I gave all my colleagues and friends at office  to taste and they all loved the taste. 

So let's check out the ingredients that you will require to make these delicious cookies!
