Chef's Notes
Pay absolute attention to the whipping stage of the ghee and sugar; incorporating air here is the sole secret to those glorious, crackly tops on your cookies.
Pro Tip
Chill the shaped dough thoroughly before it hits the heat. Warm dough spreads into a sad, flat puddle, while chilled dough bakes into majestic domes.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Attempting to move the cookies straight out of the oven while they are still piping hot, turning your magnificent batch of Nankhatai into a pile of delicious golden crumbs.
