   Hi Manjula aunty,

   I’ve always loved all ur recipes.
   Recently I wanted to bake cookies, and I tried out this recipe.. some how my cookies tend to burn on the bottom.. although I follow the timing and measurements carefully!

   Hi,
   Great recipe.

   Just wanted to know how to store these cookies? At room temperature or in the refrigerator? Also, how long do they last i.e. without getting spoiled?

   Thanks
   Ira

   Hello Manjula aunty/ Jaya,
   I am planning to make these cookies today, could you please tell me if I can use rolled oats instead of almonds with cinnamon instead of cardamom? Also, can I use ghee instead of butter?
   Please reply soon!
   Thanks,
   NSJ
