This is a flourless,cookie made with powdered nuts.You can make a single nut powdered

cookie.I have tried with almond and cashew .You could try with only cashewnuts,only

almonds or only pistachios or a blend of all three.So it’s up to you to make the choice.

You could decorate the top with nuts of your choice.

An important note about this cookie is that it does not have any oil,or butter in the dough.

You could use powdered candy (panagalkandu in Tamil)as a substitute for sugar.So…..now

let’s get into the recipe
