Recipe Notes
- The baking time may vary depending upon the thickness and size of the cookies. Also temperature varies from oven to oven.
- Use butter at room temperature.
- If using salted butter, skip adding butter while making a dough.
- You can add semi crushed cumin seeds if you do not like the whole cumin seeds.
- You can add chili or herbs for extra spice.
- If you want your cookies to be crisp, bake for some extra minutes. For me I baked them little less for slightly soft cookies.
- The cookies will be slightly soft when your take them out of the oven but will be perfect after cooking.
- I have used medium cookie cutter and got 15 cookies.
