After 15 minutes, take a big ball of the dough and using a rolling pin roll to make a smooth medium thick chapati.Now take a cookie cutter or a circular lid, dip into dry flour and cut into small biscuits.Spread a butter paper on the baking sheet and arrange biscuits over it. Using a fork, prick the cookies to make wholes.Bake them at 180 c or 350 F for 10 minutes. After 10 mins, take out the cookies, set the temperature of the oven to 170 C or 325 F and bake for another 8 to 10 mins or till the cookies become golden brown. Baking at lower temperature makes the cookies crispy.
