Eggless Rose Cookies/ Achappam / Eggless Rosette

        This is the instant version of rose cookies which looks very beautiful, and is quite easy to do too. It is also open to quite a number of variations. The traditional recipe calls for soaked rice which is ground into fine paste and mixed with eggs. But this recipe needed very simple ingredients with out much work and can be done in half hour to an hour time. When I was young, we used to receive these cookies as a Christmas snacks from my neighbors along with simple vanilla cake. When I decided to bake Christmas goodies for Blogging Marathon, my first choice was to try this cookies. I planned to make these cookies in traditional way but due to time constrain, I choose to use this method. Will post the traditional rose cookies in nearing future. Lets dig in to the recipe.
