Method
 

How to Make Peda Crumble Cookies
  1. Chill the Ghee: Place the ghee in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to ensure a crumbly texture in the peda crumble.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  3. Prepare the Raspberry Filling: Cook the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until softened, then stir in cornstarch until thickened and cool completely.
  4. Make the Peda Crumble: Combine all-purpose flour, milk powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then rub in the chilled ghee until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Prepare the Cookie Base: Cream softened butter and powdered sugar until fluffy, then gradually mix in dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
  6. Assemble Cookie Cups: Scoop about a tablespoon of cookie dough into each cupcake liner, add a layer of raspberry filling, and top with the peda crumble mixture.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, then let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
