1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup walnut powdered
1/2 cup almond powdered
1/4 cup pepita powdered
1 tsp cardamom powder optional

Instructions

In a mixing bowl take leftover buttercream, powdered almonds, walnuts and pepita.
Add whole wheat flour, rolled oats and custard powder.
Mix well and add salt ,baking soda and cardamon powder and mix well. (Since I have made these cookies during Diwali I have added cardamom powder to it. However you can add other flavor of your choice - rose , vanilla, almond essence).
Now gradually add milk around 1-2 tbsp as needed and knead into a tight dough.
The dough is ready.
Now divide the dough into 18 portions. Take each portion in your palm and roll into a smooth ball. Press the ball between your palms. Arrange the flattened ball on the baking tray lined with baking sheet. Similarly make other portions and arrange them on the baking tray keeping 2 cm distance between them
Put the tray in the prehaeated oven and bake for 12-15 mintes @ 180 C. The cookies are golden and baked. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
Enjoy the healthy cookies with leftover buttercream icing with a cup of hot tea or coffee. It is a delicious afternoon snack too.
The cookies can be stored at room temperature for 10-12 days and can be carried while travelling. It is a healthy snack to be packed for your kids lunchbox.
