NOTES ~~~
♡ Check after 15 minutes if the bottom of the cookie is become fluffy and the bottom of it has turned brown.if not then again bake for 3-4 mins.
♡ If there is excess ghee then the cookies may not become fluffy ,then you can add little more flour and knead it.
♡ If there is less ghee the cookies may break.
♡ The flour should be at room temperature. [ not refrigerated ]
♡ After blending you can add a 1 tbsp or more of dessicated coconut to get a coconut cookie.
♡ Place any dry fruits on top like chopped pista /cashew/almonds or even jam.
♡ While adding ghee be careful add little by little.
♡ The dough should hold its shape.
♡ If you feel you have added extra ghee then add little more flour..
♡ Cooking time may vary acc to diff ovens.
♡ You can also try a combo of wheat flour ¾ cup + 1/4 cup maida.
♡ I made around 15 cookies from 1 cup flour.
♡ Instead of cardamom you can add vanilla essence 1/2 tsp or you can give cinnamom flavour by adding ¼ tsp of cinnamom pwdr.
♡ You can also give a try with raagi flour +maida.
♡ Instead of ghee you can add butter or even oil.
♡ Ghee adds lot of flavour.
