Notes

1. Instead of honey you can use powdered sugar .
2. If the dough doesn’t hold together, add extra 1 tsp curd to make smooth dough.
3. You can use any essence for various flavours like vanilla , pineapple , pista , rose etc .
4. Duration for which cookies has to be baked varies slightly and depends on your oven . For me it took 12 mins on 180 and 4 minutes at 160 c . So to avoid over baking , better keep an eye towards end .
