Note
I used Pillsburry atta in this recipe.
You can replace melted ghee with melted butter but the flavor may be different.For low cal version, u can use cooking oil.
If the dough is too dry, add a tsp of milk or water. But do not add more. Baking time of cookies would vary and its shelf life would be reduced.
For variations, u can use crushed cardamom+ one clove instead of vanilla essence.
