 minutes in small preheated oven

For the first time cookie makers
Check the center of cookie is cooked..it shdn't be like dough u made,some granules has formed,but still softThe temperature varies to each oven,so keep an eye while bakingWait till the cookies cools down,it turns crispy..u wont get crispy cookies straight from the ovenCan decorate with choco chips,candies and nutsCan also add flavour with any essence or cardamom powder I usually dont use baking powder for nan khatais,but u can try itMake soft dough,so ur cookies wont have much cracks

U can also roll the dough and make shapes out of it ...dust some flour while rolling it.

Happy snacking...
