      @Ms.ChitChat – I used clarified butter and it should be creamy.

      Hi…I have one doubt.
      After kneading them for 5 mins they became sticky.How did you make the balls out of dough. Did you use ghee on your palm ?

        Hi Sadhana, sorry for the confusion. I didn't grease my hands.. If you feel the dough is sticky, add a little flour and mix it. the dough should be soft and smooth.

      Hi…. I tried out your recipe and the cookies tasted good. However mine were slightly yellow and not as white as yours. What could be the reason for that?

        It should be baked in a convection mode or OTG oven
