Though last but not the least, I am sure this innovative version of the cookie with a crispy crunchy outer crust and a sweet and salty inner filling will bowl you over. These are half-moon shaped cookies, some with sweet coconut some with semolina dry fruits and some with salty mayonnaise sweetcorn filling. The showstopper is the stuffed swan at the centre.

Step 1: Ingredients

Semolina-3 tbs
Crushed Dryfruits- 2tbs
Cardamon powder-1/4 teaspoon
Butter-50grams
Grated coconut - 1 cup
Milkmaid - Half cup
Sweetcorn- Half Cup
Mayonees - 1/4 Cup
Black pepper powder -1 teaspoon
Red Chilli Flakes -1/4 teaspoon
Rocksalt- a pinch
Sugar
Refined Wheat Flour - 1 Cup
Oil- 1/2 cup
Baking powder - half teaspoon

Step 2: 3 Types of Stuffings

You can make any number and variety of fillings. Here I have made

Semolina Dryfruit Filling
Coconut Milkmaid Filling
Sweetcorn Mayoneese Filling

Step 3: Samolina Filling

Put butter in a heated pan to it put cardamon powder and then add semolina and crushed dry fruits and a little sugar
Sugar depends on how much sweetness you want
Fry them till golden brown
Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 4: Coconut Milkmaid Filling

In a heated pan put the grated coconut and the milkmaid and keep stirring it till it gets sticky

Step 5: Sweetcorn Milkmaid Filling

Mix sweetcorn mayonnaise, black pepper powder, red chilli flakes and rock salt

Step 6: Fillings Done

Now you have 3 types of filling ready: 2 sweet and 1 salty

Step 7: Dough Making

Make a dough with flour, oil, baking powder, a pinch of salt and water.
Make a small ball out from the dough.
With the help of a rolling pin, roll them into Circles

Step 8: Fillings

Take each circle in your palm and put anyone filling in it.
Fold it to half
The edge of the two sides of the halves is joined by pressing the finger on it and folding it repeatedly so that it forms a beautiful design.

Step 9: Baking

Put these stuffed ones in a greased tray and put it in the tight preheated oven.
Bake it at 150 degrees Celcius

Step 10: Swan Cookie

The last cookie was made into the shape of a swan.
To make that shape, the stuffing was put in the dough and it was carved into that shaped (see the pictures)

Step 11: Baking of Swan

Same procedure has to be followed as the previous baking.

Step 12: Decoration

After the cookies are baked decorate it with chocolate syrup and dry fruits as you wish.

Step 13: Finishing

Serve these hot cookies straight from the oven to your guests who will get a surprisingly different flavour of fillings each time they bite a different cookie. And Just watch their face glow.
