- ½ cup rajgira atta
- ¼ cup almond powder
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- Almond flakes for topping
Instructions
Step 1 – Whip the Butter
- Take 60 g room-temperature unsalted butter in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk the butter until it becomes light and fluffy.
- This step helps incorporate air into the butter and gives the cookies a better texture.
Step 2 – Add Desi Khand
- Add 30 g desi khand and ¼ teaspoon vanilla.
- Whisk everything together until the mixture becomes light and creamy.
Step 3 – Add the Dry Ingredients
- Now add rajgira atta, almond powder, baking powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt
- Mix everything gently.
Step 4 – Make the Dough
- Use your hands to bring everything together and form a soft dough.
- Avoid kneading the dough like roti dough. Simply combine the ingredients until there are no dry patches.
Step 5 – Refrigerate
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for 20–25 minutes.
- The dough will become slightly firm, making it easier to shape the cookies.
Step 6 – Shape the Cookies
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
- For evenly sized cookies, you can use a measuring spoon or cookie scoop.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Gently flatten each ball.
- Sprinkle almond flakes on top and lightly press them into the surface.
Step 7 – Bake
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Bake the cookies for approximately 13–15 minutes.
- The edges should become lightly golden.
- Do not judge the final crispness immediately after removing them from the oven because the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 8 – Cool Completely
- After baking, leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 1–2 minutes.
- Then carefully transfer them to a wire rack.
- Allow them to cool completely before storing or serving.
- Your delicious Rajgira Almond Cookies are ready!

Notes

- Do not transfer very hot cookies immediately because they can break.
- Allow them to cool completely before storing.
- For fasting, always check whether every ingredient is allowed according to your specific vrat rules.
