Masala Cookies are my much loved Cookies. This weekend I baked these mini cookies. I got this recipe from Redchillies. These wonderful cookies are prepared using all purpose flour, butter, yogurt, salt, sugar and spices.



As these cookies are prepared with the blends of salt, sugar and spices which gives them a very great flavor and scrumptious taste!! Love them!!
