Notes
Ghee should not be melted, it should be in a semi-solid state. When using butter, just make sure it is at room temperature & not melted.
You can use any flour to make Indian Cookies/Nakhatai.
Once the dough is prepared, don't forget to store it in the refrigerator. This will help in providing a nice texture to the cookies.
