Salt cookies aka salt biscuits are quite popular cookies available in most of the bakeries in India.The cookies are mouth melting and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.

I used to get these cookies from local Indian bakery but wanted to try since long.I couldn't get a proper recipe for this particular cookie.Finally I saw a YouTube video and the measurements were not clear.Then I tried my own measurements with the ingredients mentioned.After couple of trials I got a perfect mouth melting cookie.Try these yummy cookies and enjoy the holidays.
