NAN KHATAI (INDIAN COOKIES)

VANILLA COOKIES / VANILLA NAN KHATAI
What would one think of to have with a cup of tea or coffee, Yes, you guessed it right, the answer would be cookies.

I personally prefer our Indian biscuit style cookie which I cooked dunk in my tea and relish. So here’s the recipe of the cookie that we used to get at a local bakery in Mumbai, India.

Powdered sugar - 85 gms
Butter - 120 gms
Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp (Optional)
Cardamom powder – a pinch
Few almonds, pistachios and cashew nuts(optional)


































Method
In a big bowl, beat the butter till it turns fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. 
Now add the vanilla essence followed by the maida and sooji. 
Make a smooth dough of this mixture. 
Roll out medium sized balls and cut them into two halves. 
Put a cashew nut and broken almonds or pistachios on the top of each piece. 
Bake them on a greased pan for 25 minutes at 150 C.
Wait for 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven. 
Your Vanilla Biscuits or Vanilla Nan Khatai is ready. 
Dunk it into your tea and enjoy.
