Notes

  • You can use organic coconut sugar in place of jaggery powder. These alternatives provide healthier form of sweetener to the baked goods.
  • Do not over-mix the cookie dough after adding dry ingredients. Just fold the dry ingredients with wet. (VERY IMPORTANT)
  • After mixing ground Flaxseed with water, allow the gel formation for at least 15 minutes, before adding the gel in the recipe.
