These Nutella Brownie Cookies do not just taste amazing, but are also made with healthier ingredients, like whole wheat flour and jaggery powder. These cookies are completely melt in mouth from inside, just like a bite of brownie in texture.
Mix butter and jaggery powder till completely blended.
Add vanilla extract and egg. Mix till you see a smooth batter. Add Nutella and mix again.
Using a sieve, sift whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt, and fold into wet ingredients mixture. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°Celsius). Make cookie dough balls using 1-2 tbsp dough, flatten (but just a little bit) and place on parchment paper lined baking tray.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.

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 gently fold the dry ingredients with wet.
You can substitute the egg with either of these two options:
Chia Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp Chia seeds with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
Flax Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp Flax seed powder with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
If using these substitutes, also increase baking powder in the recipe by additional 1/2 teaspoon.
