Recipe Notes

  • The original recipe uses All purpose flour, but I have used whole wheat flour.
  • Also 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg was used. I skipped that.
  • I have used karumbu sakkarai aka unrefined cane sugar.
  • The cookies were disc shaped in the original recipe, I used a flower shaped cookie cutter for this.
