    Ingredients

    • Whole Wheat Flour - ¾ cup
    • Almonds - ¼ cup
    • Baking Powder- ¼ tsp
    • Palm sugar/ Brown Sugar - ½ cup
    • Cardamom powder or Vanilla Essence - ½ tsp
    • Butter - ½ cup or one butter stick or 113 gms
    • Boiled Milk - 2 tbsp optional
    • Salt -a tiny pinch
    • Whole Almonds - 8 for garnishing

    Instructions

    • Measure and keep all the ingredients ready. Also, preheat the oven to 180 deg C for 10 minutes. Take ¼ cup of almonds in a blender and grind it to a slightly coarse or fine powder.
    • In a mixing bowl, take the grounded almonds flour and add ¾ cup of wheat flour, salt, and baking powder to it. Mix well.
    • Then take the butter in a vessel. Let it come to room temperature. Then add brown sugar to it. If using palm sugar, grind it to a fine powder and add here. Mix well until the sugar is completely melted.
    • Then add brown sugar to it. Mix well until the sugar is completely melted. Now add the boiled milk and mix it once again.
    • Add this butter-sugar mix along with vanilla essence or cardamom powder to the dry ingredients and start to mix the dough with your hands gently until you get the soft dough consistency. Add 1 to 2 tablespoon of milk if required, I have not added any milk as the dough was soft with butter.
    • Once the soft dough consistency is reached, keep the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 20 mins. In the meantime, line the cookie tray with a cookie sheet/parchment paper. After 10 mins, take the cookie dough from the refrigerator and start making balls and flatten it using your palms.
    • Arrange the cookies, garnish with sliced almonds and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes (baking time depends on the size of the cookies and oven) at 180° C till cookies are browned at the bottom. Allow to cool in the tray for 5 minutes and serve the cookies.

    The healthy and tasty whole wheat almond cookies are ready to serve!

    Whole Wheat Almond Cookies RecipeNotes :

    • Adjust with milk while kneading the dough to reach the soft dough consistency.
    • If the dough is too sticky, adjust with 1 tablespoon of wheat flour.
    • The cookies stay well for a week at room temperature if stored in an airtight container.
    • Keep an eye on the oven after 13 minutes of baking and check cookies turned brown at the bottom though the cookies may look soft. After cooling down, the cookies will become crunchy.
    • Powder the sugar for making the process easy if using palm sugar or regular brown sugar. I used demerara sugar and hence used it as such.
    • Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cookies.

          Too much flour, less butter, or over baking can cause crumbly cookies. find out the cause and adjust the quantity accordingly and try next time

          Cookies may turn to crumble if too much flour or less butter is used. Also, under-baking is the cause. bake it until the bottom turns golden brown

      Thank you for wonder recipe. However, I had half success in baking these.
      I have small OTG hence I had to bake them in batches.
      First batch came put perfect.
      The next batch cookies flattened and became quite thin. They did raise a bit then collapsed.
      3rd batch was even more spoilt cookies.

      Can you tell me what might have gone wrong?
      I had kept dough in fridge after 1 st batch, but not second batch. At least 2nd batch should have come out well.

      Does the type of cookie sheet used makes a difference?
      I used only non stick cake pan with parchment paper on the bottom.

      Also, I had read somewhere that butter needs to be cold to have crispy cookies but your recipe calls for room temperature butter. I also see that the dough needs to be kept in fridge for 20 mins before baking. Is it because you used room temperature butter?

      Is it a problem if I keep the cookie dough for longer period in fridge? Overnight?

      With all my questions above, it is not hard to guess that I am very new to baking cookies.
      Please help.

        1. The cookie dough keeps well in refrigerator even it stored overnight , just cling wrap and refrigerate if you are planning to do it in batches.And whenever you want to bake, you can unwrap,shape the cookies and bake the cookies.
        Also keep the prepared baking tray in fridge till preheating time, this avoids the cookies from spreading thin..
        2. Even I have used non stick pan with parchment paper, that shouldn't be an issue.
        3. have used only softened butter at room temperature for all my cookies, never went wrong.

        Hope it helps!

            I used unsalted butter. You can also use ghee, but the flavor will be different.

      Hello,

      I tried this recipe. I baked them for 12 mins at 180 degrees. The cookies burnt from the side n soft from the centre. What could have possibly gone wrong?

        Did you refrigerate the dough before baking? Burnt sides may happen if the dough is warm.

        Cookies turn crisp and soft in the middle when the cookie dough wasn’t cold enough before baking or too much butter in your biscuit dough. Next time, refrigerate your cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes before you bake them. If the problem continues, use less butter.
