March 3rd, 2010 filed under Desserts, Snacks
These whole wheat cookies are light and crispy. They are great with tea or coffee. This is an egg-less cookie recipe.
Recipe makes about 24.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon green cardamom seed coarsely powder (ilaichi)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (8 tablespoons or 4oz)

Method
- Pre heat the oven to 360 degree F.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, sliced almonds and cardamom powder well.
- Next add soft butter and milk to the flour mixture to make dough. Dough should be very soft.
- Divide the dough into about 24 equal parts and make them into balls.
- Press each ball between your palms lightly; every piece should be about 1/2” in thickness.
- Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet about inch a part.

Manjula aunty,
I had exact same question about the shelf-life of these cookies.
Does the air tight container needs to be stored in fridge or at room temperature like shakkar pares?

Dear Aunty, This recipe turned out awesome. You are just great, Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. I just cant beleive I made biscuits @ home that too so simple yet delicious. My hubby and me love biscuits and spent dollars all these days. Hence forth this is going to be a staple food in my kitchen. Will try Naan Khatai as well. Hope you dont mind when I say this “Love you so much Aunty”.
Thank you aunty ji very much for such a delicious recipe…i made the whole wheat almond cookies yday and the cookies came out very tasty. and its very easy recipe i have come across the internet. I am big fan of all your recipes. Thank you so much! Have a great time.
Hello Manjula aunty,
Thank you very very much for this recipe. I love atta biscuits. This is perfect. Its a big big hit in my family. Everyone seems to love it so much that I end up making jars full each week for distribution ONLY.. I am very happy that my family is loving and send me text messages asking if I could bake some. I have made these biscuits atleast 12 times in the last one month. However, there is a request from my family members asking me to make the biscuits a bit softer ( if possible).. Is there a way aunty?? Its not that they are complaining about the crunchy cookies but they would love soft cookies if possible. Any help??
I tried this receipe with slight variations:
Added 4 cloves(crushed).The taste was great and the aroma of clove acted as an air freshner.
Used a combination of half butter and half oil (sunflower) in the dough.Cookies were more crisp after cooling.
Thanks
