My Dhaba's Rock Cookies
.gif){kind=small}
When we saw the theme “A Virtual Cookie Swap” jointly hosted by IMBB-SHF, we were so excited and wanted to participate with the ONLY cookie that we have so far made at My Dhaba. There was scarcity of time, but hope we have finally made it through. Thank you IMBB-SHF team especially Jennifer and Albiston for this wonderful theme.
Here is our most favorite and one and the only cookie – the My Dhaba's traditional homemade rock cookies.
Bringing the ingredients together…
My Dhaba’s rock cookie recipe
Ingredients:
Butter – ½ cup (at room temperature)
Sugar – ½ cup
Self-raising flour or maida – 1-1/2 cups
Egg - 1
Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice – 2 teaspoons (or orange juice – 2 teaspoons)
Vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon
Raisins – 10-15 (optional), lightly fried in ghee
Cashew nuts – 10 (optional), lightly fried in ghee, broken into quarters
Cinnamon - 1/2-inch piece stick (optional), powdered
Salt – ½ teaspoon
Method: Cream butter, sugar, and egg in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour, salt, lemon juice, vanilla essence, baking powder, raisins, cashew nuts, and cinnamon powder. Refrigerate the mix for few minutes if needed to make it firm. Preheat oven to 160 degree celcius. Shape into lime-sized balls, sprinkile some sugar on the top, press down slightly, and place on a lightly greased pizza tray or cookie sheet allowing enough room for spreading. Bake for 10-15 minutes on convection 160 degree celcius or till the edges become slightly brown. They are quite nutritious and tasty – one of our 4-yr-old taste taster Adarsh’s favorites too :-). Serve the cookies towering in a big pile on the table and enjoy!
Here is one more closeup picture of the rock cookies which we had made at My Dhaba few weeks ago. Hope you like those.

Gini - thank you. We at my dhaba too were about to miss, but somehow managed to pass it through :-)
Shammi - wow! so glad to know that you liked it. Please do let us know how it turned out at your kitchen.
Chanit - thank you so much for being our guest today. You are most welcome.
Those cookies look delicious with that crunchy sugar coating. Yummm...
So tempting to have a bite--utterly, butterly delicious!!
Mika - thanks. We made the sugar coating just to woo our Adarsh :-) and he likes it that way.
Lera - thanks. How do you make butter cookies at ur home?
Vkn,never tried making cookies at home :) perhaps, I should try sometime soon.
Hi
Your recipes are all so fool-proof.It is a pleasure coming to your site.Hugs& kisses from a fan.
Keep up the good work.
Your recipes usually have very healthy ingredients.This is the first time I see u have gone 4 a little indulgence & have butter, sugar, flour & all the sinfully bad stuff in your recipe.
No complaints, though. Keep it coming.
Food Obsessed - Nice nick! :-) Thank you very much for letting us know of your feelings :-) We liked it. We are so happy to notice that My Dhaba now have few fans out there - wow! Thanks once again pal.
Oh yes, you are absolutely right. The food becomes sinfully bad when eaten out of control in a gluttonous way - too much of everything is bad, isn't it. Adarsh (my 4-yr-old son) loves to have variety. We rarely go out and have food from outside. This was a treat to him :-)
They look wonderful!
Great that you show the whole process, it makes it easier for people like me, the recipee illiterate..
Love the cookies by the way!
oh, yum! I love the raisins and cashew nuts in there!

Hi VKN,
I was looking for raisin cookies. I got it today. I am first time visitor of your blog. I started seeing your recipes today morning and forgot my breakfast. All recipes are so nicely explained. Thanks a lot. I am going to try this cookie recipe. You have mentioned in the recipe that cream egg, sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Is that possible to do this using big spoon?
