Instructions: To begin making the Nankhatai Recipe, preheat the oven to 180 C. And prepare a baking sheet greased with butter or ghee.In a stand mixer or a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients together. Add in the wet ingredients and beat until all the ingredients come together in the form of a dough. Place the dough in a cling wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours until chill. This process is optional, but I like to do this as it makes the cookies more crunchy.Divide and shape the dough into lemon size balls, you can get about 25 to 30 balls of cookies. Give a slight thumb impression in the center. Dip the balls in the crushed nuts.Arrange the Nankhatai in a baking sheet and place them in a preheated oven and bake until lightly golden brown for about 15 to 20 minutes.Serve the delicious spiced Nankhatai along with a hot cup of chai or pack it as a snack for the kids lunch box. Store them in an airtight container.Serve Nankhatai along with hot Masala Chai for your tea time break.
