Hi Chefs!
There is a saying, ”A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand”. Well, this proves correct with the healthy guilt-free pistachio cookies. This is a healthy option for kids as well, as it does not contain APF/Maida and sugar.
Let's bake cookies for those in-between hunger pangs.

How to Bake Cookies:
1. In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients.
2. Add softened butter to the mixture.
3. Mix with hand or spatula so that mixture gets crumbly texture.
4. Add milk little by little and bind the mixture into a dough.
5. Refrigerate this dough for 10-15 minutes.
6. Divide the dough equally and shape it into small round balls.
7. Add chopped pistachios on the top and flatten a little.
8. Place all cookies on a pre-lined baking tray.

Some Pro Tips:
1. Do not rub the dough too much with hands as hands generate heat so it will become too sticky.

3. Do not over bake the cookies.
