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)
- About 2 tablespoons of milk or as needed
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.
- Bake the cookies for about 18 minutes or until cookies are lightly gold brown.
- After they become lightly golden brown remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Let the cookies cool down for two to three minutes before taking them off the cookie sheet.

[...] out my recipe for whole wheat almost eggless cookies as an [...]
I made these cookies today. They tasted pretty good. I hardly needed any milk. I also tried a batch with half almond meal and half cup whole wheat flour. That came out good too:)
Jaijinendra aunty,
I just baked these cookies & my home is filled with the sweet aroma but in just 15 min ,my cookies turned little bit black from the bottom.
Do we have to decrease the temperature after putting cookies in the oven.
Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!
I think the cookies are not expanding b’coz it doesn’t have baking soda in it, I added a pinch of baking soda & instead of almonds I used chocolate chips, the cookies were wonderful crunchy & tasty! Thanks to Manjula aunty!
i tried these cookies myself and they did expand…as it is also mention in one of the previous reply i would like to mention again…it is better to keep the butter out of the fridge well in advance so it becomes soft rather than melting it
Ruchi,
Sorry, it should be 1/4 cup of water may be spoon less or more.
Hi Manjula, it was awesome!!!!! Can u pls also suggest a recipe for wheat bran cookies? Thanks. God bless you
