  1. Put 1 bowl ghee in refrigerator for 3 hrs before cooking cookies
  2. Add plain flour (maida) , sugar, vanilla essence, baking powder, semolina(Rawa) and dates to it.
  3. Mix properly and make dough.
  4. Now make small equal flat balls like cookies and decorate them with dry fruits or eatable colour. I have used cut piece of almonds and pistachio and red colour.
