Smoothen cracks on the cookies with your fingertips before putting them into the oven.
The cookies will be very soft as soon as they are out of the oven. So leave them in the tray for 10 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Use ghee which has no sediments, else the color of the cookies will change.
Do not flatten the cookies too much.These cookies must be small and plump!
The ghee should be at room temperature.Frozen / refrigerated ghee/ hot ghee will not work out for this recipe.
You can use home made / store bought ghee.
