Melting Moment Butter Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Melting Moments (also known as butter cookies or even cornstarch cookies) are unleavened classic cookies consisting of butter, flour, cornflour, and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are wonderfully buttery, melt-in-your-mouth, and don’t require eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give an Indian fusion twist to these classic cookies, I added Thandai Masala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Thandai Masala?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those unfamiliar with the term thandai masala, Thandai Powder is a versatile masala with the flavors of cardamom, saffron, rose and it is loaded with nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thandai is a traditional Indian beverage popular in the North Indian states of UP and Rajasthan and made especially for the festival of Holi. It has a cooling effect on the body and hence the name Thandai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quite refreshing to drink and is loaded with some rich ingredients like dry fruits, seeds, and saffron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This powder\/masala is great to flavor your milk, use in desserts like cheesecake, kheer, rabdi, yogurt, cakes, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this time around, I thought of infusing my simple melting moment cookies with thandai flavor for holi and you guys…..let me tell you, these are THE BEST cookies I have made so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flavors are spot on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
