Buckwheat aka kuttu (in Hindi) is very good for health and is gluten-free. This cookie has both all-purpose and buckwheat flour giving the best of both the textures and flavors. If you do not have buckwheat, try making with all-purpose flour, the flavor may be slightly different, but delicious though!

The cookies stay at room temperature for a week. I had to sneak a few to try, but beyond that I couldn't check as it was gone. The cookie thieves find the right spots to enjoy this cookie! Well, it is amazing and is expected! These are guaranteed to be gone at the blink of an eye!
