If you don't have semolina, substitute the same amount of all-purpose flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Use fine granulated sugar rather than coarse granulated sugar, as it dissolves nicely into the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fat:<\/strong> Ghee (clarified butter) is pure fat with no water. It gives eggless nankhatai biscuits a rich, crumbly texture and nutty flavor. Use soft, semi-solid ghee, not melted ghee, or the cookies may spread in the oven. Unsalted softened butter also works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cardamom<\/strong> gives nankhatai their signature warm, floral flavor. Freshly ground cardamom is especially fragrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nuts:<\/strong> I used finely chopped pistachios for a pop of color and crunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Please see the recipe card below for full information about the ingredients and quantities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#eef3f4\">\n<h2 id=\"h-variations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Flour:<\/strong> Chickpea flour (besan) adds a lovely nuttiness and delicate texture you'll love in homemade nankhatai cookies. You can also use almond meal. The color of the nankhatai does change based on the flour mixture you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spices:<\/strong> Soak a few strands of saffron in a teaspoon of warm milk, as I did for my <a href=\"https:\/\/tashasartisanfoodscom-bt.b.tempurl.cc\/blog\/saffron-cardamom-cheesecake\/\">saffron cheesecake<\/a>, and add it to the dough. You can also use vanilla, nutmeg or rose water (like I did with my <a href=\"https:\/\/tashasartisanfoodscom-bt.b.tempurl.cc\/blog\/eggless-rose-shortbread-cookies\/\">rose shortbread cookies<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thandai flavor:<\/strong> Add a teaspoon of <a href=\"https:\/\/tashasartisanfoodscom-bt.b.tempurl.cc\/blog\/instant-thandai-masala-mix\/\">thandai spice mix<\/a> to make thandai flavored nankhatai, as I did for my <a href=\"https:\/\/tashasartisanfoodscom-bt.b.tempurl.cc\/blog\/eggless-thandai-cookies\/\">thandai shortbread cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chocolate Nankhatai:<\/strong> Swap 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for cocoa powder.

Though unsalted butter is recommended, I&nbsp; do use salted one sometimes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use fine granulated sugar or powdered sugar. Regular granulated sugar will not dissolve as easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dough should be soft and smooth. If its too dry and crumbly, add more ghee, a teaspoon at a time. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don't skip chilling the dough! This is very important. We need the ghee to solidify so the cookies stay flaky, buttery and don't spread out too much while baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The criss cross cut on the cookies helps them expand nicely in the oven, giving them their characteristic cracks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don't overbake these Indian butter cookies.

Regular granulated sugar will not dissolve as easily.<\/li>\n<li>The dough should be soft and smooth. If it's too dry and crumbly, add more ghee, a teaspoon at a time.<\/li>\n<li>Don't skip chilling the dough! This is very important. We need the ghee to solidify so the cookies stay flaky, buttery, and don't spread out too much while baking.<\/li>\n<li>The criss-cross cut on the cookies helps them expand nicely in the oven, giving them their characteristic cracks.<\/li>\n<li>Don't overbake these Indian butter cookies.
