Omam Biscuits | Ajwain Biscuits

Omam biscuit is a very famous cookies in bakeries here in Bangalore (as far as I know). Omam means carom seeds in Tamil and these cookies as name suggests are so buttery crumbly in texture with distinct carom seeds flavor.I love to eat these cookies from bakeries especially if they were fresh from oven. Now since my 2nd daughter i wanted to serve as finger food,I thought these cookies will be perfect. In bakeries these cookies are made with all purpose flour and shaped little thick like fingers,but here I used a combination of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour and made them really thin so that they can get baked thoroughly. These cookies were utterly crispy delicious with a very warm and comforting aroma of carom seeds. Only change in my cookies from the bakery one's was their color as I used wheat flour.
