  Nankhatai are basically indian shortbread cookies. The recipe shared in this post shows how to make nankhatai with whole wheat flour or atta.  Sharing these nankhatais made with whole wheat flour as i had got a few requests for the recipe. I have already posted the nankhatai recipe made with all purpose flour or maida. Wherever possible, i prefer to bake cookies and cakes using whole wheat flour.

 These nankhatais are not as crumbly as the ones made with all purpose flour but they taste good. Of course they taste like nankhatais made with whole wheat flour. 

You do get the nutty taste of wheat flour in these indian shortbread cookies. since they are made from atta, they are a better alternative than nankhatais made with all purpose flour. i have also added besan to give some crumbly texture.
