Allow to cool in tray entirely and serve the cookies.
Notes :
- The color of the cookies depends on the sugar used. I used palm sugar.
- Top it with raisins, chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra taste.
- Adjust with milk while kneading the dough to reach the soft dough consistency. I didn't use milk and still able to get a smooth dough consistency.
- If the dough is too sticky, adjust with 1 tbsp of wheat flour.
- The cookies stay well for a week at room temperature if stored in an airtight container.
- Keep an eye on the oven after 10 minutes of baking and check whether the cookies turned brown at the bottom for completeness. The cookies may look soft, but after cooling down, the cookies will turn crunchy.
- Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cookies.
