Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup All purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Semolina
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Clarified Butter/Desi ghee 
  • 1/3 tsp Cardamom powder 
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 2-3 tbsp Milk 
  • 1 tsp Rose flavour
  • few drops Rose colour 
  • few Rose petals  chopped
  • 2 tbsp Pistachios for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • First of all, sieve whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and semolina so that there are no lumps.
  • In a mixing bowl, add clarified butter and sugar and whisk them till it turns creamy and fluffy.
  • Add whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, semolina to it and mix well. Add cardamom powder, salt, rose flavour, rose colour and chopped rose leaves to it and mix again.
  • Add 2 tablespoon milk and make it a dough. Don’t knead it just gather it together. Keep it covered in fridge for 20 minutes. After that, take it out and make small balls of equal size. Press a little and keep them in baking tray. 
  • Make some criss cross pattern in middle and spread some chopped pistachios. Keep in the fridge again for 10 minutes.
  • Take them out and Bake them for 15 minutes at 190 degree Celsius in a pre heated Air fryer or oven. 
  • After that take them out and let them cool completely.  Store them in an airtight jar and Enjoy them with hot tea or coffee.

Notes

  • Clarified butter/Desi ghee should be at room temperature not completely melted. You can use room temperature Butter instead of Desi ghee in this recipe. 
  • Adding colour is optional so you can skip it if you don’t like colour in food.
  • Cookies should be cooled completely before serving as they will be crunchy only when they are cooled down.
  • Cookies tend to appear soft when you take them out of oven, they get nice crunchy and hard once cooled completely.
