Hi Aarthi,
Lovely cookies… Can you suggest a method to bake them without an oven? In a microwave?
if u have convection mode, you can bake
Is there a substitute for butter? Can I use regular oil or coconut oil instead?
u can use oil. But the texture of cookies will be a bit diff
can i make it without moulds just like as nankhatai
if u want to make as normal cookies. then chill the dough for 1 hour, then take a small portion and roll it out. then flatten slightly and bake
these short breads look so delicious
Wow tempting. Excellent Aarthi
