Healthy vegetable cookies

These savoury cookies contain no sugar, no maida, no artificial colours or additives. Made with whole wheat flour and all natural colours from vegetables, these contain the goodness of cheese for extra protein. Don't these look super pretty?

Ingredients

• 2 cups atta
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 100 grams cold butter
• 100 grams cheese
• ½ cup cold milk

For the orange colour

• ½ tsp kashmiri chilli powder
• 1 grated carrot

For the green colour

• 2 tbsp of spinach puree or chopped spinach
• ½ tsp of jeera/cumin powder

Procedure

• In a bowl, take all the dry ingredients mentioned above and mix properly.
• Cut cold butter in small pieces and add them to the bowl. 
• Mix the butter with the flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
• Add grated cheese to the mixture.
• Add ½ cup chilled milk.
• Mix everything together but don't knead. If the butter is melting, keep the mixture in the fridge for sometime.
• Divide the dough into 3 portions. To one portion, add the grated carrot and kashmiri chilli powder and mix well. To one portion, add spinach puree or chopped spinach and cumin powder and mix well. In case the dough feels too loose after adding the vegetables, add a tbsp of atta and mix. The third portion of dough should be left as it is. 
• Keep all three doughs in the fridge, covered for 30 mins.
• Preheat oven to 180°C. 
• Make small portions of each dough, place on a baking tray and bake at 180° for 20-25 mins.
• You can also roll it out, cut into desired shape using a cookie cutter and bake.
• The cookies may seem soft when you take them out of the oven but they will firm up when they cool.
