Salty Cookies are the perfect, quite popular cookies. available in most of the bakeries in Pakistan that goes well with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Very easy and mouth-melting biscuits made with very basic ingredients; no fancy ingredients are added at all.

I was making a plan for a long time to make these crisp cookies, but due to time shortages, I couldn’t implement my plan. Finally, I made and am now sharing.

I used homemade shortening in this recipe instead of butter. You can use shortening or butter. If you ask me what should be used, then I'd prefer using shortening as it has a low cost. Secondly, the results of cookies and cake are super, more than butter.

These cookies are shapeless as well since I didn’t use any cookie cutter in them, but you can use a cookie cutter. These cookies are so similar to the cumin biscuits, thedifference iss in some ingredients. But the taste is quite different from each other, so once you try them will be able to realize how crisp and mouth-melting biscuits are

For the best result, follow my detailed step-by-step photo, instructions, and tips above the recipe card.d

Recipe tips:

All baking ingredients should be at room temperature. I used one egg in the recipe, but if you are vegan or vegetarian, you can skip the egg and use room temperature milk when kneading the dough, if needed.

Using melted butter decreases the risk of the egg curdling after combining the creamed butter and sugar. Additionally, using shortening instead of butter can be a better option for making crispy biscuits.

For baking, preheat the oven, and bake the biscuits for 25-30 minutes. Start by baking at medium-high heat for the first five minutes, then reduce the temperature to low and continue baking at low-medium heat until the edges are browned.

Recipe notes:

Before you begin, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature, particularly the butter or shortening, milk, and eggs. This step is crucial for allowing the ingredients to combine smoothly without overheating the batter.

If you forget to take them out of the refrigerator ahead of time, you can soften the butter quickly in the microwave for about 5 to 10 seconds. You can do the same with the milk.

To bring the eggs to room temperature promptly, place them in a bowl of warm water for about 5 minutes.
