    This is one of the fantastic cookies i have baked so far. when i saw this recipe in Sharmis place without any second thought i bookmarked this and i tried this in a week. But i couldn’t click the pictures as kids feasted on this yummy cookies and my hubby also asked me to pack a few for his friends. Last week i made this again and finally i clicked this with step wise pictures.

Notes:
  • These cookies tend to brown easily so keep a close watch after 10 mins
  • Mine got done in 13 mins.
  • I added a tsp  of orange juice to this and this enhanced the flavor.
  • If you don’t have tutti frutti just replace with any nuts of your choice.
