Wheat Jaggery Cookies | Chocolate Chip Cookies
Fall in love with the most popular cookies, Whole Wheat Jaggery Cookies. These chocolate chip cookies are not only delicious, but also a healthy whole wheat no sugar cookies option too, as they are prepared with whole wheat flour and jaggery powder.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter unsalted
- 1 cup Jaggery powder Can be reduced to 3/4 cup for making less sweet cookies
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/3 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips Semi-Sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
- Meanwhile, mix the butter and the jaggery powder till the jaggery powder is completely blended with the butter. I prefer to mix by hand since I don't use mixer. Whisk or spatula is not helpful in this case, since the butter is not in a completely melted state.
- Add in the egg to this mixture and stir till all the ingredients are uniformly mixed.
- Now add vanilla essence to the above mixture. The wet ingredients mixture is now ready.
- For the dry ingredients, mix in whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the wet mixture.
- Finally add the chocolate chips and give it a good mix with hand. The dough will be a little loose at this stage, so it is advisable to put the dough in the fridge for around 5-10 minutes.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Take around 2-3 tbsp of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Then flatten the dough ball and place on the baking tray. I was able to make 15 cookies with the prepared dough.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool for at least 5-10 minutes.
- The classic chocolate chip cookies are now ready to be served warm or these can be stored in an air-tight container!! I refrigerated the cookies for around 15-20 minutes to stiffen up the gooey chocolate chips before storing them.
Notes
- Whole Wheat Flour – Feel free to replace whole wheat flour with the same quantity of all-purpose flour. If the cookie dough feels a little loose, add ~ 1/4th cup more of all-purpose flour.
- Sweetener – You can even use unrefined cane sugar or organic coconut sugar in place of jaggery powder. These alternatives provide healthier form of sweetener to the cookies.
- Egg – To make the recipe eggless, I would advise to replace the egg with either of these two options:
- Chia Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp powdered Chia seeds with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
- Flax Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp powdered Flax seeds with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
- Feel free to reduce jaggery powder to 3/4th cup for making less sweet cookies.
