Featured Photo: Prem Prashad Heart Shaped Butter Cookie
When I had a first visit from a dear sakhi (soul sister) with whom I have been corresponding for a while, but had not yet met, I wanted to make something special to show my appreciation for her sangat (spiritual companionship). I thought I'd make a batch of naam ladoo, but discovered I had neither almonds nor walnuts, and no time to fetch them. I did have prashad ingredients, so I whipped up a batch of Prem Prashad (offering of love) heart shaped butter cookies, another first, because I invented the recipe on the spot.
It couldn't be simpler with only three ingredients, and far surpasses in ease my previous attempts to make an eggless butter cookie which could be rolled and cut out to a desired shape. Their delicate flavor makes them perfect to serve fresh from the oven, but they would also be perfect to ice and decorate for festive occasions, and make a sublime divine valentine.
Holidays are always a busy time. If you are looking for a quick and easy eggless rolled butter cookie to cut out, bake, and decorate, this recipe is for you.

Yummmm….now I’m so hungry for cookies! Lovely gift for your friend.
Sunt bune plăcintele. Mulţam.
I have to try this recipe soon! I wonder if it would work with vegan butter substitute? My vegan brother is visiting soon and I need to be prepared!
I have had good success using smart balance margarine for making vegan cookies.
Gosh, Sukhi, you are ever the innovator!
Your writing is so open-hearted that it touches me deeply. There’s something wonderful about making something hand made to show appreciation for a soul sister. And an artful photo too.
That sounds like the first type of cookie I learned to make. I was told they were Greek sugar cookies. Fond memories.
They look delicious. & kudos to you for inventing the recipe extemporaneously!
I bet they smell wonderful and taste yummy! I think I prefer them without nuts. Nicely photographed with the heart-shaped tablecloth.
To answer your question, the arch in my post is real and people can walk under it.
