Can I make these cookies with ghee instead of unsalted butter? How about coconut oil for a vegan version? Do you have any comments about the consistency of ghee or coconut oil that will make a difference in the texture of the final product?

Thank you so much for this recipe. I remember my mother making them when I was growing. When I saw, it brought back so many childhood memories. I also remember how the vanilla smell would spread into every part of the house.

Yesterday, Anya my six years old daughter and I decided to make these cookies together. I must say, each and every step was so easy to follow and every of those little pointers were so helpful. We managed to bake 32 yummy cookies. Thank you!

Interestingly, as we went about the preparation we discovered so many fraction and division problems built into the recipe. For instance, 1/8th tsp of salt meant that we had to take half of 1/4th tsp as we didn’t have a 1/8th tsp measure OR to make individual cookie we had to roll the dough into a long cylinder then cut it into half and roll the half again and cut into two more equal halves and so on, till we got 32 pieces. It was so much fun !

Regards,
Yogi.
