Pro Tips to Make Karachi Biscuits Recipe:
Chill the Dough: If you want you can chill the dough before you roll it, for at least 30 minutes—to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. (though I did not feel the need to do it so you skip if you choose)
Use Softened Butter: Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
Slice Evenly: Keep the slices uniform in thickness for even baking.
Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a pinch of cardamom or a few drops of rose essence for a traditional twist, if you prefer.
Don’t Overbake: Take the cookies out when the edges are just golden. They will harden as they cool.

Eggless Tutti Frutti Cookies
Ingredients
- 240 grams Maida All purpose flour
- 140 grams Butter softened butter, unsalted or salted
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 4-5 tbsp tutti frutti
- 3-4 tbsp milk or add as required
- 2-3 tsp butter for greasing the baking tray
Instructions
- Take the sugar in a dry grinder or mixer-grinder.
- Grind sugar to a fine powder and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl take the softened butter and powdered sugar.
- With an electric beater, cream the butter and sugar till the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- On a medium speed, it took me about 4 to 5 minutes to cream the butter and sugar till smooth, fluffy and light.
- Add vanilla essence. Fold the vanilla essence with the creamed mixture.
- Next directly sift the all purpose flour in the bowl containing the creamed butter and sugar.
- You can also sift the flour in a plate and then add.
- Now add 3 to 4 tbsp of milk or as needed.(it would be better you add it little by little)
- The milk helps in binding and to get the mixture together in a dough.
- Begin to gently mix with your hands and gather the whole mixture in a dough. Do not knead.
- The mixture should be able to come together and hold easily. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons more of the milk if the cookie mixture is not able to come together in a dough.
- Preheat oven for 15 to 20 minutes 180 degrees C/356 degrees F.
- Roll the dough gently having a thickness of 0.5 cm.
- Sprinkle the tutti frutti evenly on the rolled cookie dough.
- With the rolling pin, gently press the tutti frutti so that they get embedded in the dough.
- With a biscuit cutter, or with anything you have in your kitchen to cut, cut the cookie slices. I used a shots-glass to cut the cookies.
- Gently remove them and place on the greased baking tray.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F for 40-45 mins till the tops become light golden.(baking time may vary from oven to oven)
- Keep the baking tray with the cookies on the center rack with both the top and bottom heating elements on.
- Since oven temperatures vary, it may takes less or more time. So do keep a check.
- Bake till the cookies are a light or pale golden. Do not over bake them as then they will become chewy or hard.
- The base should also be light golden.
- After a minute, place them on a wired rack. Let them cool at room temperature. Once cooled, store them in an air-tight box or jars.
- Serve these cookies as a sweet snack or tea time snack.
