These Nankhatai biscuits are seriously addictive cookies . 😋😋 .Indian cookies made bakery style ..i had to bake at least three times so that i get good pics for my post and video before they all vanished ..😂..awfully easy and anyone can bake them ...so if you have taken them out of the oven even few seconds early and they dont look done, simply put them back and continue baking ..the aroma and the light golden tinge was the cue for me to take them out perfectly done .check the video .
