The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg powder and more to sprinkle
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instruction

  • Cream butter and powdered sugar together till well combined.
  • Add cardamom powder and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg powder and mix.
  • Add vanilla extract, coconut extract and mix till well combined.
  • Add 1/2 cup coconut powder and mix. I used flaked coconut and crushed it using my food processor.
  • Add atta and mix.
  • Mix to form a dough, you may use your hands here [I did!]
  • Make small balls out of the dough and press to flatten it. You will get 10-12 cookies depending on how big or small you make your cookies.
  • After you have shaped the cookies, roll each in the remaining 3 tablespoons coconut powder.
  • Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle nutmeg powder on top of each.
  • Bake at 350 F degrees for 18-20 minutes or till golden brown and crispy.
  • Let the cookies cool down completely and then store in an airtight container and enjoy with your chai!
