Atta Biscuits .. Whole wheat cookies

Atta Biscuits .. Whole wheat cookies 

Atta Biscuits have been a constant source of happiness in my childhood days. Back in the day, the delicious cookies flaunted on a bakery's display, were made of egg and Maida. Two ingredients that I tried to avoid as much as possible. Atta Biscuits acted as a wonderful substitute to those. The warmth and feeling of an Indian home that Atta and Desi Ghee radiate made these Biscuits more than just a substitute. I tried recreating the look of Atta Biscuits using a fork and I might have managed to float back into my childhood days.

For healthier substitutes, I added Cardamom powder and Brown sugar instead of refined sugar. This recipe also gave me a varied option for my baking endeavours. While the recent cookies I baked related more to today's generation, this one managed to remind me of the less complex days. I hope you enjoy its warmth, crunch and nostalgia with a steaming cup of tea.
