I almost zeroed in this recipe for Y, but backed out because of the butter content, as usually i end up eating them the most..these look fabulous now, and i am still tempted to make these

Never heard of yoghurt biscuits.
Thought biscuits will be floating in curd.But what a wonderful dish you have created that is atonce tempting and novel.Yoghurt vadai, an euphemism for thayir vadai was what I was looking for.Hats off to you.
Good you are making all your cooking blog friends ready for more challenges.You should have a mechanism to select the best three under each alphabet with objective parameters.

Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
Such cute biscuits...i agree that bite size pieces are so much convenient to serve and avoid wastage. Also, did you use chili powder in the dough? That would have made it amazing...I don't see it being added in the recipe, but the pictures have red specks on them.
