Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup Gulab Jamun Mix
- 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 cup Water
Pistachio Filling
- 1/2 cup Pistachios crushed
- 1/2 cup Sugar powdered
- 1 Egg white
Egg Wash (Optional)
- 1 Egg Yolk
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Gulab Jamun mix and whole wheat flour.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Avoid adding too much water at once.
- Knead the dough until smooth and pliable. This develops the gluten and creates a tender cookie.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy.
- Add the powdered sugar to the egg white and whisk until combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed pistachios.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough in half.
- Roll out one half of the dough into a thin, roughly square shape, similar to a roti.
- Spread half of the pistachio filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Fold the bottom third of the dough up over the filling.
- Fold the top third of the dough down, enclosing the filling completely.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1/2-inch wide strips.
- Gently twist each strip to create the classic twist cookie shape.
- Repeat steps 8-14 with the remaining dough and filling.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the twisted cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
- If using, whisk the egg yolk and brush it over the cookies for a golden-brown finish. This is called an egg wash.
- Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
- For the optional sugar syrup, combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Let the syrup cool. For soft, syrup-infused cookies, soak the cooled cookies in the warm syrup for 15-20 minutes.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or using a milder variety.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can also freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
