I have been baking nankhatai for many years.I love these eggless cookies as it melts in your mouth.I have tried many variations over the years.Intially I use to make it with just all purpose flour then I tried replacing half of the all purpose flour with atta ,the result always remained excellent.My next mission was to replace flour completely with atta and at the same time I found this recipe in Divya's Easycooking Blog.
I made a few changes in the recipe and the outcome was the same-aromatic melting goodies.

Method:

Hi
I was wondering when you say whole wheat flour-do you mean the soft chappathi flour from Indian stores or do you mean the American whole wheat flour which has the bran as well..
GKB
Its Chappati flour.
