Marble Cookies – Pakistani Bakery Style Biscuits

Cookies & Biscuits· Pakistani & Desi

These eggless Marble Cookies are typical Pakistani Bakery style Biscuits found in almost every Pakistani bakery with variations. Their texture is just melt in mouth with the crunchiness and crispness expected from a cookie. I learnt these from a seasoned Pastry Chef in Karachi’s culinary school and since then haven’t looked for another recipe.

Marble Cookies

The recipe is super simple and consists of basic ingredients like flour, butter, sugar and cocoa powder. A bit of lemon juice is added to count for that deep flavor and aftertaste but along with pinch of salt, it makes the cookies more palatable and less sweet.

Marble Cookies

Which sugar to use in Marble Cookies?

In my opinion and experience, cookies like these yield the best texture when icing/powdered/confectioners sugar is used. By these I mean cookies like, shortbread and zeera biscuits (cumin cookies). Recipes of both can be found here and here.

Why it is important to chill the cookie dough?

Most of the cookie recipes will call for chilling prior to baking and this is no different. Chilling cookie dough or cut out cookies will solidify the butter in it and will help in retaining the shape of the biscuits and prevent unnecessary spreading.

How to store Marble Cookies?

These cookies when baked store well at room temperature in an airtight container for upto a week. You can also choose to wrap the log and store it in fridge for a couple of days or in freezer for upto 1 month. Cut cookies can also be stored in same way.

Can I make Rainbow Cookies?

I haven’t made it myself but I see no reason as to why not. Just add powdered color to the dough just like cocoa powder or gel paste to get different colors.

So let’s start with the recipe and procedure to make these beautiful eggless marble cookies.

You can find a playlist of cookies and biscuits on my YouTube channel here.
