yogi chai biscuits.
We love baking our own chai dipping biscuits. We call these Yogi Chai Biscuits because they are eggless, naturally sweetened, full of sacred cow ghee and pure enough to suit a sattvic diet. But be careful! These biscuits are so yummy, they require the cultivated restraint of a disciplined yogi. Click recipe card to view larger.

I love your recipe which uses the ingredients I use on a daily basis (whole or semi whole spelt flour, arrow root -do a lot of eggless recipes – and SPICES of course ^^)
The only thing I never use is ghee… and I wouldn’t know where to look for
But I have my personal, healthy and savory way to substitue to butter 
I think I will give a try to this recipe in the next few days!

hi Sabbio, we forgot to link up a ghee recipe (clarified butter) — it’s quite easy, and ghee is a GREAT, clean oil so good for baking and cooking. here’s the link: http://www.ayurveda.com/online_resource/ghee_recipe.htm
also, we didn’t say that these 4 ingredients (flour, arrowroot, ghee, maple syrup) is a great base recipe for any cookies. i made it yesterday with coconut, cinnamon and chocolate chips! super yummy. and patrick likes to make chocolate-lavender cookies with it….mmmmm. enjoy!
