Ingredients

For the Cookies

• 1 cup rolled oats
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup Sarbu Jaggery Powder
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp cinnamon powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp milk, as needed
• ¼ cup chopped almonds or walnuts
• 2 tbsp raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together softened butter and Sarbu Jaggery Powder until smooth.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, combine oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
2. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.
3. Fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or chocolate chips, if using.
4. Add milk little by little if the dough feels too dry.

Step 3: Shape the Cookies

1. Scoop small portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking tray.
2. Leave enough space between each cookie.
3. Flatten them gently with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake at 180°C for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes.
3. Transfer them to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely. They will become firmer as they cool.

Why Use Sarbu Jaggery Powder?

Sarbu Jaggery Powder provides a naturally rich sweetness with warm caramel-like notes that complement the earthy flavor of oats and whole wheat flour. Its fine texture blends easily into the cookie dough, making it a delicious alternative to refined sugar.

Chef’s Tips

• Do not overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
• Use rolled oats for a better texture and nuttier flavor.
• For crispier cookies, flatten the dough slightly more before baking.
• Add dark chocolate chips, coconut, or seeds for extra flavor.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 5–7 days.
