I am always attracted towards creative things, no matter it’s art and craft or food. Since it’s Diwali time and i see sweets and savories everywhere … my mind got just stuck into making something that is a quick snack, looks pretty and gorgeous and also reflects my creativity. Luckily my son came up asking for some nice snacks for his friends in school as they were celebrating diwali in school before vacations. After a long research i finally found some amazing sugar cookie recipe by Neha Mathur.
These cookies were exactly what i made few days back for Halloween. The only difference and must say the beautiful difference was that the cookies were Diya shaped and filed with some amazing colorful royal icing. The icing was glossy that made the diya cookies look even more beautiful and festive. The recipe i tried today is adapted from http://www.whiskaffair.com/2011/10/sugar-cookies-diwali-diya-and-rangoli.html
