Easy and impressive, these sandwich biscuits embellish store-bought whole wheat biscuits with a decadent three ingredient date-and-nutty spread that has a honey like sweetness and caramel overtones. Heavenly Delicious !

A sticky and sweet date and nutty filling spread between Whole Wheat Fiber Rich Biscuits.

Almost everyone enjoys having evening or morning tea with some light snacks. And if are a tea lover like me, cookies or biscuits would probably be your favorite tea companion. No matter which hot beverage you enjoy everyday, switching to healthy snacks is always a good idea for your health. I love digestive biscuits, but thanks to my sugar craving that persuaded me to turn these whole wheat slices into a delicious healthy treat to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Why These Date-Filled Sandwich Biscuits are a smart choice
- When you substitute dates for table sugar, you get a bunch of other nutrients along with your sugar! Sugar is just food that’s been stripped of all fiber, vitamins, and minerals, so why not make your treats sweet with something that actually provides all of those? Dates are high in calories, but unlike sugar, the calories obtained from dates come with a lot of nutritional properties.
- Dates are rich in potassium, iron and other beneficial plant compounds. The high soluble fiber content helps in fighting off sugar cravings and stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the intestines. I prefer to use dates in dessert as a replacement for sugar.

Nankhatai (Eggless Buttery Cookies)

Nankhatai (Eggless Buttery Cookies)

Nan Khatai is a popular sweet snack which is equally liked by kids as well as elders. I am a huge fan of these nan khatais. It’s the NanKhatai recipe you would want when you suddenly crave for cookies.

Does this recipe rings a bell? Khasta nankhatais from your favorite bakery shop – so what does Khasta mean? Khasta means light and flaky and Nankhatai is referred to as a shortbread or biscuits. This is super easy fail proof recipe that has been tested and tried many times in my kitchen.

Nan Khatai are simple to make if you ask me.Nothing complicated and no fancy ingredients. No baking soda and baking powder added in this recipe. Does this make you walk away from the recipe? Please wait and learn the secret to these khasta nankhatai recipe. Secret to these flaky nankhatai is the amount of ghee/butter that goes in them. No water or milk is added to this recipe.

Bake these goodies for 12- 15 minutes. Depending on the oven, cooking time may vary. Unlike other cookies, nankhatais will not brown up and when taken out of the oven they will still be soft and gooey.

No worries, allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes on the counter and they will become firm. When completely cooled, store in an airtight container and enjoy with your evening tea!!

This Nan khatai Cookies Recipe especially for all those who are new in baking. These cookies prepare easily and serve with afternoon tea. Do try it!!
