Method
 

How to Make Mango Kesar Shrikhand Cookies
  1. Prepare Dough: Start by dividing the cookie dough into three portions—base (white), mango (orange), and saffron (yellow).
  2. Mixing Colors: In the orange portion, gently add freeze-dried mango powder to infuse that vibrant mango flavor. For the yellow portion, stir in the steeped saffron to achieve that gorgeous golden hue.
  3. Form Dough Balls: Take equal amounts of each dough portion and combine them gently to form a cohesive ball that resembles a peace sign.
  4. Shape Cookies: Flatten the combined dough ball into a disc shape, roll it generously in sugar, and place it on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to the appropriate temperature and bake the cookies for 14-15 minutes.
  6. Finishing Touches: Give the tray a gentle bang to flatten the cookies, sprinkle with finely chopped pistachios, and pop them back into the oven for an additional 2 minutes to toast the nuts.
  7. Cool & Serve: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack after removing them from the oven.
