I tried out this recipe 2 days back,but was not happy to the mark.The rawa in the recipe has created problem I think.May be if we increase the quantity of maida and reduce the quantity of rawa may help to get good results.Moreover baking time also is varying.The time and temperature mentioned in the recipe made my biscuits burn a little,So I reduced the time(10 minutes) and this resulted in partially uncooked biscuits.Outer side was crunchy but in the middle it was partially uncooked
