Anarasay Recipe

Flaky, Egg-less Sugar Cookies With Coconut

Preheat oven to about 350 degrees.

In a flat pan, rub with fingers to spread:

1/2 cup liquid ghee

Mix together:

1 cup white all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Add to the ghee alternately, kneading in bit by bit:

the flour mixture

1 cup confectioners' sugar

Break off small pieces of dough, and roll into 3/4" balls. Press out on an ungreased cookie sheet into thin circles, stars, or other shapes about 1/16" thick and 2 1/2" in diameter.

Sprinkle with and press in:

1-2 teaspoons Indian poppy seeds**

1-2 teaspoons unsweetened, shredded coconut

Bake for 5-10 minutes until only slightly browned. Let cool and serve.

**If you do not have Indian poppy seeds, do not substitute regular poppy seeds, just omit the seeds altogether. The cookies will still be terrific.
