In a large bowl cream together clarified butter/ghee and powdered sugar. Beat well.
Add the dry ingredients. Mix well and make a smooth dough. Add little milk if require. I have added 1 tablespoon milk. You can use little more if you feel your dough is dry.
Take 1 tablespoon from the dough and make small balls out of it. Place on a greased tray 1 inch apart.
Press gently. Make a criss cross with a knife on every cookies.
Bake in preheated oven at 180° for 10 – 12 minutes or until the edges becomes light brown.
