Nankathai- Indian shortbread cookies


Nankhatai are easy-to-make semolina “cookies”...This recipe is pretty foolproof.
You Will Need

* 1/2 cup Semolina
* 1 cup All Purpose Flour
* 3/4 cup Sugar
* 3/4 cup Butter
* 1⁄2 tsp. Baking Powder
* 1⁄2 tsp. Cardamom (Ground)
* 1 tsp Vanilla essence
* sugar sprinkles for decoration

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C
Step 2: Cream butter and sugar

Until pale yellow.
Step 3: Add and combine ingredients in two steps

Add egg. Combine. Add flour, baking powder, cardamom and nutmeg. Combine.
Step 4: Knead dough and flatten into walnut sized balls. Make small size dough balls as they will spread during baking. Make design with a fork by pressing it down.

Place on nankhatai on a greased baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown

Once done, cool nankhatai on baking racks.
