Hi,

Is there a difference between baking powder and baking soda? If yes, what is the the difference? Can we use baking powder instead of baking soda?

hi! Shilpa
I made this 2 days back . Aroma & taste was great . U were right abt apple and cinnamon combo. Its heavenly. Only problem with my dough was that it was a bit watery and i had to add 2 more tablespoon of all purpose flour to be able to make rounds of the dough to get cookies.But they tasted great amy kid was hovering near the oven when the aroma reached his nostrils. He couldnt wait to get them out of oven.
One can imagine the outcome of those cookies once they were out of the oven.
Thanks for posting.
cheers

It’s just not fair! Not only can you whip out glorious Konkani dishes, but you have this natural flair for our western baked goods too…and i’ve been cooking longer. I’m going to cry.
Yeah…apples and cinnamon are a good combo that can’t be denied….and if you consider what my favorite spice is, then you’ll know that the taste for certain spices in sweets can be acquired over time….but i know: cinnamon for savories….even I am starting to prefer cardamom over vanilla and cinnamon…to the point where I don’t notice it much because i drink it in coffee every day!

Shilpa: I know your knowledge about Indian and non Indian dishes, I have learned a lot from you. I just know how to follow a recipe .
I agree, I think cinnamon and cardamom are acquired tastes. Have you tried the cinnamon available in Indian stores? The aroma is somewhat different than the American ones.

Have you started liking cinnamon in your sweets, Western-style? I just can’t stand the smell of it in anything sweet!

Shilpa: Sumitra, I too HATE cinnamon in sweets, but I feel cinnamon and apple goes really well. I normally use this combo, but for any other sweets, I replace cinnamon with cardamom powder.

Sounds good! They look so tempting that I just HAVE to try them. I’ll let you know how they turned out without the eggs

Shilpa: Thanks Rutu(what a sweet name you have). I will wait for your comment.
