The list of ingredients is fairly simple and I prepared this in less than 30 minutes. One subtle variation that I made in my recipe is I have replaced half part of all-purpose flour with wheat flour and just a little semolina.

This improves the texture of the cookie and makes them somewhat less brittle. I also added a little bit of cardamom powder for aroma. If you are not a big fan of cardamom, you could perhaps add a teaspoon of cinnamon powder as a replacement. Check my step by step video for more details.

It gives me great satisfaction when I am able to help my readers with their requests for vegan alternatives such as this one.
