If you love fusion biscuits recipes, you’ll love these Barfi Biscuits and Saffron Pistachio Shortbread! Gulab Jamun is an iconic Indian dessert with the flavours of rose. These cookies replicate similar flavours because the glaze is made with rose water and icing sugar. I’ve also used a store-bought gulab jamun mix which contains milk powder. I’ve finished the eggless cookies with rose petals and edible gold leaf, which gives the cookies a festive feel. Gulab jamun cookies have a soft texture and are buttery and rich. They remain soft due to the raising agents that are added to pre-made gulab jamun mix. Make them as part of your Diwali sweets mithai box or for gifting! They’re the perfect Indian fusion dessert. I love trying out fusion treats with gulab jamun like Gulab Jamun Cheesecake, Gulab Jamun Truffles and Gulab Jamun Mix Cake.
Ingredients notes
Gulab jamun mix – you can use any brand of gulab jamun mix for this recipe All purpose flour – the amount of milk powder in gulab jamun mix means that you need to add some plain flour. I’ve tried this recipe purely with a mix but the cookies didn’t hold their shape. Butter – I’ve gone for unsalted butter. Caster sugar – aka powdered sugar. It is easy to buy from the shop or make your own at home by grinding down granulated sugar. Milk – you will need whole milk to bind the dough. For the glaze: Icing sugar – aka confectioners sugar Rose water – if you do not have rose water, use normal water with a few drops of rose essence.
Storage
Store cookies, once cooled, to room temperature in an air-tight container. They will keep well for 1 week after which they may become stale.
