Eggless Tutti Frutti Cookies : Whenever I see Karachi Biscuits in Indian Grocery stores, my mind always thinks to bake the same at home (blogger mind always thinks to recreate anything they notices in stores 🙂 ). Its my long time wish and sometimes I run out of any color Tutti Frutti especially Green that’s the only barrier which I had experienced. These colorful Tutti Frutti are my recent purchase from India, got sufficient quantity this time and now I happily bake Christmas Fruit Cakes too. Instead of Red Tutti Frutti I added Cherries and feel free to add any color tutti frutti or dry fruits as you wish. I strongly insist to add
custard powder / Milk Powder and Almond or Cashew Powder to enhance the taste of the cookies and this version of mine exactly tastes like the store bought one. Before the Holidays begin I am sharing this wonderful Eggless Tutti Frutti Cookies Recipe in detail with step by step pictures, do try the ? recipe, enjoy your holidays with family and friends also don’t forget to share the cookie pictures with us 🙂 Merry Christmas to one and all 🙂
