Fudgy, spiced with the best of Indian spices like cardamom and rose petals, it’s one delicious cookie that reminds you of holi with every single bite.
The reason I came up with this cookie recipe is, my kids find thandai a little too heavy. And why not, it’s filled with every possible nut, seed and dry spices that one can think of. Yet i still wanted them to enjoy the flavours of the season. This cookie delivers that. It’s fudgy, gluten free, refined sugar free and eggless.
If you are having a holi party, these would make such lovely treats for your table or as return gifts too. Studded with pretty colours and good for you ingredients, they are the healthiest treats I can think of, with the flavours of the season…
