    Nan-Khatai are staple cookies in every Indian house! They are must, those are shortbread cookies with Indian twist. Most Indian desserts are cooked on stove top but those are the only one that I know off that are baked! They are rich with butter and a great treat that come in small doses. Easy to make and the reward is even better. The nan-khatai are among the first cookies that I learn to bake, you can’t fail baking them. The biggest tip for those cookies is that the color of the cookies should be very pale and they look as if not baked but trust me you don’t want to over bake them.
