 
     Whole wheat flour 1 cup       Sugar  1/2 cup       Almonds sliced  1/4 cup       Unsalted butter   1/2 cup      Cardamom Powder  1/4 tsp       Salt   1/4 tsp       Milk      2 tblsp (to knead the dough)        
Method:
- In a wide bowl add the whole wheat flour , sugar ,salt and cardamom powder.
- Slice the almonds. I just pulsed it in a mixer.
- Keep the butter in room temperature.
- Add this to the whole wheat flour mixture. add the sliced almonds too.
- Knead it into a smooth dough. the dough should be soft. Add 1-2 tblsp of milk for kneading the dough.
 
- Make it into desired shapes of 1 inch thickness.
- Preheat the oven for 5  minutes at 170 degrees.
- Bake it for 12-15 minutes in the same temperature.
- The cookies gets baked soon. so keep an eye after 10 minutes.
- When done cool it on the wire rack and once it is completely cool, transfer to a air tight container.
- Though the cookies appear to be chewy when hot, once it becomes cool it will be crispy.
- I felt the cookies are bit on the sweeter side and you can lessen 1 or 2 tblsp .
- Almonds can be replaced with cashew nuts or pistachios.
