Eggless Crescent Sugar Cookies Kourabiethes Recipe

August 14, 2013 By Sangeetha Priya 18 Comments

This melt in mouth Eggless Crescent sugar cookies /powder sugar coated shortbread from Greece are made for special occasions and festive Christmas season. I made it twice before posting here. First time I reduced the recipe to halve and second time i reduced the butter where original recipe calls for…After reducing the butter also these cookies were so delicious and melted in mouth. This is one among the 4 recipes sent by Swathi for baking partners challenge, thanks Swathi for this wonderful recipe, It just reminded the Indian bakery style cookies 🙂

Yields 40 – 45 Cookies aprox
Recipe Source :- Taste.com 

Ingredients 
AP Flour/Maida – 2 and 1/2 cups
Almond meal (ground almonds) –  1/2 cup
Butter – 250gms/2 Sticks/1 Cup (Softened) (I reduced to 3/4th Cup i.e 1 n 1/2 sticks)
Pure icing sugar – 2 n 1/2 Cups (Replace with 2 n 1/2 Cups Regular/Granulated sugar + (2 Tbsp+1tsp) Corn starch, blend well in mixie/food processor)
Vanilla extract – 2tsp
Baking powder – 1tsp
Orange Zest – Rind finely grated from 1 Orange (Refer Notes)
Milk – 2 Tbsp or more to attain dough consistency *

* If like to include egg then add 1 egg and skip milk for the above quantity.

Eggless Crescent Sugar Cookies Preparation

  • Sift flour and baking powder, keep it in a separate bowl (Pic 1).
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter, 1 cup icing sugar, vanilla and orange rind until pale and creamy (Pic 1& 2).
  • Add milk/egg and beat until well combined.
  • Add all purpose flour mixture in batches (Pic 2).
  • Add almond meal and stir until dough comes together (Pic 2 n 3).
  • Preheat the oven.
  • Using 1 tablespoon dough per biscuit, place it on baking tray (Pic 3).
  • You can line the baking tray with cookie sheet/parchment paper.
  • Roll out into 8cm-long sausage shapes, roll it with your palms, center thick and two ends bit thin and slightly bend it to form crescent.
  • Bend to form crescent shapes (Pic 3).
  • Place on baking trays, allowing room for spreading.
  • Bake at 320°F/150°C for 20 minutes or until light golden (Pic 4).
  • Stand for 5 minutes on oven with door open until firm.
  • Place remaining sugar in a bowl, coat warm biscuits, 1 at a time, in sugar (Pic 4).
  • Place on a wire rack to cool (Pic 4).
  • Sift any remaining icing sugar over biscuits when cool.
  • Now its my daughter turn to play with powdered sugar 🙂

Notes

  1. Add milk in batches like a tbsp at a time while preparing dough and while rolling out it should not break/crack, that is the right consistency.
  2. For easy peel, freeze the orange skin for at least an hour before grating.

    Just baked these fanastic cookies…Thank you for the great recipe. It's easy to follow and it definitely delivers 🙂 I drizzled a bit of melted white chocolate on top of the cookies before coating with icing sugar…it really complements the orange zest
