While rolling very little ghee may come out which is ok and cookies will always be a little darker from below compared to the top but they will never be uncooked. If they are uncooked then make sure your baking is on the mode that baked from the top also.

Hi, You have baked it right, this biscuit does not need very dark brown colour. once baked allow it to cool it completely on the tray or the wrack. it will become hard enough and it will gain a light brown colour only on the edges.

Hi, yes it not used in this recipe. we need it to be crunchy and flat like a biscuit. adding soda or powder will give the rise which is not required for the biscuit.
