Made with protein-rich sattu, almonds, and simple pantry ingredients, these cookies are naturally gluten-free, wonderfully nutty, and just sweet enough for an everyday treat.

What I love most about them is how they celebrate a traditional Indian ingredient in a completely different avatar. The earthy warmth of sattu pairs beautifully with the richness of almonds, creating cookies that are crisp at the edges, tender in the centre, and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
