Firstly, in a large bowl, place a sieve and add 1½ cup maida, 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk powder, pinch salt, and ¼ tsp baking powder.

Sieve and mix well making sure all the dry ingredients are well combined.

Now add ½ cup ghee, crumble and mix well. Gently mix the flour and ghee mixture.

Lightly crumble with fingers and get the mixture into dough.

Do not knead the dough, just press and make a soft dough. If you feel the dough is dry, add some ghee or butter. but do not add milk or water as it makes cookies dense.

Now make ball-sized cookies and place them over a greased plate.

Now bake the cookies in a kadai, by adding salt at the bottom of the kadai.

Cook on a medium flame for 15 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies gets golden brown.

You can alternatively bake in the oven at 170 degrees celsius for 15 minutes. Cool the cookies completely before taking out the plate.

Finally, enjoy the crunchy Ghee Cookies recipe with a cup of coffee.
