Crispy Sugar Cookie(from a convenient store)

I went to a convenient store nearby to buy regular items for the week, I happened to see a tiny box of cookies with no name or brand on it. The storekeeper Ajay, was actually giving away cookie pieces to all the parties who seem to be interested (for free). So had a tiny piece & it was just out of the world - fresh, crispy on the outside & soft on the inside, smells like it is just out of the oven. So I bought one box for me & my room mate.
The size of the cookie was small & just right for a mini dessert after lunch or a snack along with a cup of tea in the evening. The sweetness was perfect(not too much or not too little either). It costed me 45 bucks for 10 pieces. I thought, it is a decent value for money.
Then I started thinking about what could have been the ingredient of this simple but tasty recipe. So here is the picture of the cookie & I jotted down some items that might have gone into making this cookie.

The cookie box:

A better picture to see the texture of the cookie:

This is what I could think of,
1)All purpose flour
2)Gram Flour
3)Sugar
4)Ghee
5)Baking powder(probably)

So readers/viewers can fill me up here, by giving your idea of ingredients which might have gone into making the cookie pictured above or let me know as to what I could be missing in the ingredient list jotted above.
See, i'm just a decent(regular) cook, so all the expert cooks out there please jump in & contribute!!
I would love to hear from you!

      Thanks Misha!!
      Soya chunk is actually a better idea than egg burji on your pasta recipe.
      It gives the look and feel of having meat for vegetarians :-)

      Why didn't i think of that???
      On that case, I'm missing Sooji(semolina) from the ingredient - is that right?

      I clearly did not think of that, I guess i went with the way the storekeeper was selling to make it sound up-to-date :)
      I guess, I'm missing Sooji(semolina) from the list!!

Onion and Tomato Chutney

If you are one of those, who is bored of the regular coconut chutney day-in-day-out, then this chutney will be a life saver. It is a good mix of onion, tomato and coconut sauteed with spices and ground to perfection. This goes very well with Idli, Dosa and also as a side to Curd Rice. I have seen people mix this chutney directly with plain rice and have them(something like a pachadi), so it kinda works that way too!! Ingredients : 1)Onion - 1(chopped) 2)Tomato - 2(chopped) 3)Green Chillies - 3(slit) 4)Grated Coconut - 4 tsp 5)Garlic - 3 pods(crushed) 6)Oil - 1 tsp 7)Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp 8)Whole Red Chilli - 1 9)Urad Dal - 1 tsp 10)Asafetida - a pinch 11)Turmeric Powder - a pinch 12)Salt - to taste 13)Coriander leaves - 5 sprigs Preparation : 1)Heat oil in a pan and add asafetida, cumin seeds, whole red chilli and urad dal. Let it splutter. 2)Add garlic and slit green chilli, saute for couple of seconds. 3)Add onion and salt, saute until they turn translucent. 4)Add chopped tomatoes, tur...
