This is one type of  cookie which is made in every household.I have a very sweet childhood memory of these cookies

My mom along with other neighbouring aunties used to make them on bulk and we all kids along with our mom’s used to take it to local bakery for baking…Then relish on it for days.Many families make these cookies during diwali as part of diwali goodies.

60 gms Barik Rava (Semolina.)

150 gms Maida.

Cream together butter and sugar till light and fluffy.
