These pink hearts are completely egg-less and made up of whole wheat flour. These cookies neither contain baking powder nor baking soda. One can easily prepare them with very few ingredients.
Most of the rose flavoured bakes can be prepared with rose petals but I tried with rose essence and it turned out to be amazing.
I try using whole wheat flour in my recipes these days, as it is a healthier option and quite good with the bakes.
This Diwali season I’ve made desi cookies with a western twist.
They look good and taste even better. Hope you like them and try them out.
