Cookies under the unusual name "Eliche Gadzha" are a very tasty and aromatic shortbread delicacy of Indian origin. I suggest you bake it immediately.

Instructions
Step 1
Remove the butter from the refrigerator and keep at room temperature - it should become soft.
Step 2
In the meantime, remove the walnuts from the shell and place in the pan - it should be dry, that is, without oil. Fry them, then let cool.

Mix everything well.

After beating softened butter, add powdered sugar to it, without stopping whipping the mass. As a result, you should have a white, airy cream. Add dry flour mixture to it. Stir until smooth. Knead the dough with your palms.
Step 4
Cover the baking sheet with a sheet of parchment. Put the dough on it and spread it over the surface so that a rectangle is formed, the size of which is approximately 20 x 25 centimeters.
Step 5
Take a knife and draw lines with it along the surface of the dough laid out on a baking sheet so that you get 24 cookies. Pierce each in the center with a fork.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 180 degrees and send the future dessert into it for about 60 minutes. The baked goods should have a pale golden crust.
Step 7
Hold the finished baked goods in the unplugged oven for 10 minutes, then divide along the lines marked with a knife. The Eliche Gadzha cookies are ready!
