- The color of the cookies depends on the sugar used. I used nattu sakkrai/raw cane sugar.
- You can skip baking powder.
- Top it with chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra taste.
- Adjust with milk while kneading the dough to reach the soft dough consistency.
- If the dough is too sticky, adjust with 1 tablespoon of sathu maavu 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.
