After an afternoon nap, sipping on a piping hot tea with biscuits dipped in is almost a ritual in an Indian household for eternity. What if we were to take things a step ahead and upgrade the biscuits to cookies, that’s even better- tutti frutti cookies. Sounds exciting right.
When I first made these cookies, it occurred to me how versatile these are, it was crunchy yet melts in mouth. Not only will they be an excellent tea time snack, the kids will pounce on them too. And not to forget to mention that they can be an awesome gift for friends and family. In fact I made this cookies for 2020 Christmas for my friends.
Let me also give out a secret. The aroma that these cookies ooze while baking, will make your house smell delicious. You can thank me later for it.
Presenting the new tea time snack – the colorful jeweled tutti frutti cookies.
Every one would have heard of tutti frutti but has anyone wondered what those are actually made of?
Tutti frutti is a colorful confectionery containing various chopped and usually candied fruits, or an artificial or natural flavoring simulating the combined flavor of many different fruits. As matter of fact in india, tutti frutti is made from papaya and in other countries it is made from berries and chopped fruits. in India it is mainly used as toppings to custard, cakes or ice creams.
