Notes :
- 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 stays 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 turn 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.

Can we use fresh coconut instead of desicated coconut
Kalyani
I never tried. You can give a try and see. But am sure the texture and taste will be different if you add fresh coconut.

Hi Kalyani
I have recently started following your recipes. I must say you have done very good research. I have tried few recipes and they have turned out amazing. I get quite few options for my 10 months old baby.
Can you post some recipes for savoury biscuits as all your current recipes involves use of sugar. Or can we try current recipes without using sugar.
Thanks
