Pistachio Almond Cookies

 It has been very difficult to feed dry fruits  to  my kids.  Eating nuts as it is , is a difficult part. So I tried adding nuts powder in cookies.  And you wont believe these  cookies vanished within no time. These rich and delicious cookies with lots of almond and pistachio powder are most popular and preferred cookies in India. As Christmas is around, its perfect time to bake these cookies.

This recipe goes to the week 4,  day 2 of BM 71, under the theme" Kids Delight-Cakes and Cookies". Here goes the recipe.....

All purpose flour 1 1/2 cup
Pistachio powder 1/2 cup
Almond powder 1/2 cup
