Eggless custard powder cookies, jam cookies are perfect for beginner bakers and even you can engage your kids making this cookies, pack for their snack box.
Yay-yay-yay! I baked these biscuits for the first time and it came out very nice! My kiddo loves Jam biscuits a lot, I tried this especially for him and after tasting one he said 'I love this' !!.Now I can bake cookies confidently as this attempt turned out to be a success!
I saw this recipe in Divine taste blog, when I was googling images for eggless cookies and got tempted and the recipe sounded pretty simple. I just went ahead and tried it. Didn't changed anything, just blindly followed the recipe. As this is my first time, I didn't want to take any risks. But I used ready made jam, while she has used her own home made jam.
This also tastes similar to jim jam if you use mixed fruit jam except for the cream part. I had mango jam , so used it. For variations, you can use any other flavored custard powder other than vanilla. Pineapple works great for example.
Don't have custard powder? Replace it with white corn flour (corn starch) and your choice of essence for flavor.

Soften butter and beat it until frothy along with powdered sugar and the essence.
2. Add all purpose flour, custard powder, corn flour and curd.
3. Knead to a smooth dough.
4. Spread the dough in a flat surface using a rolling pin for about 5 mm thickness. You can see the image for reference, the biscuit won't rise much, so you can roll to the same thickness you want.
5. Use cookie cutter of any shape and cut out the shapes. use the remaining dough and repeat the process.
6. Arrange these biscuits in a baking tray lined with butter baper/ baking sheet(I used aluminium foil).
7. I used the essence bottle's lid for making a dent at the centre to fill the jam. Just a very very shallow dent. You can use your thumb too.
I just melted(made it loose) the jam in a small pan.(take care not to heat it too much, just when it starts to get warm, remove from fire)
8. Just fill a drop to cover the dent we have made in the biscuits..
Pre- heat oven at 180degrees C and bake the biscuits for 12 - 15 minutes(mine took 15 minutes) or until the sides get pale golden in colour.
After cool down store in airtight containers and enjoy the home made Jam biscuits!

Sailaja,custard powder is nothing but vanilla essence+colour+corn flour... I am not sure what pudding flour ingredients,if its same,then sure can use,if it has sugar in it,then you have to adjust the sugar quantity accordingly ... 🙂

Hi i tried this one and it turned out really well. I was really happy about it. I have a small doubt, can you please tell me what does half cup butter mean how many grams is it approximately. Can you please tell that.
vibhasri says
Hi i tried this and it really came out well.Thank u so much.
RAKS KITCHEN says
1/2 cup butter is 113gm I think

Can you please suggest the substitutions if I were to make a chocolate version using cocoa powder. This was really nice biscuit recipe, definitely a keeper
Anonymous says
Hi, this was a really nice recipe. Can you please guide me with substitutions if I want to make a chocolate version uising cocoa powder?
RAKS KITCHEN says
You can use 2 tblsp cocoa power in place of corn flour. Reduc corn flour to 2 tablespoon as well. Just a guess. Should come out good.
janu says
Very nice..tempting ..gonna try soon..
janu says
Hi raks,
Have a doubt..Whenever u call for butter in a recipe, should we take it as unsalted butter or can we use salted also..Because I'll take something named butter while purchasing, never worrying whether its salted or unsalted..Which is good to use??
janu says
Hey raks,
I tried this y'day..Tasted good. But it was little chewy in texture in the area where the jam has been kept... Thank you ..Hope, for me, the next time it would turn even more good 🙂
Neeraja yedrami says
Hey..Raks...

There might be option to heat your oven from bottom too. So switch on that heating element too. Hope this helps
