Bow tie cookies were always present at birthday celebrations. Everyone who tastes these light and crispy bow tie cookies just can’t stop after eating only one! The dough is similar to pasta and samosa dough in texture, rolled thinly, cut, shaped and then fried. Afterwards, they are often dusted in powdered sugar or dip in a sugar syrup.

I have shared my recipes in step by step method with detailed photos.

In a bowl add all purpose flour and rava (sooji) / semolina pour little by little water to make a dough. Keep aside to set the dough for 15_20 minutes. Divide the dough into small portions roll the dough as a thin pastry sheet.

Cut the sheets in to rectangles. Slit then and press in the middle to shape as a bow.

Deep fry the cookies in a medium flame. Dip the cookie in a warm sugar syrup.

Store the cookies in an air tight container. It will last for few days. Yet, it taste better if you serve hot.
