Diet Cookies





I named these cookies as diet cookies because, I didn't use regular sugar, nor maida/all purpose flour/ nor butter, wondering how i made without these essential ingredients, let's see how I made them.

This is what you need to make it. 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 to 3/4 th cup of coconut palm sugar.
The reason I used the coconut palm sugar is, It has low glycemic index, which means your sugar level won't spike after eating them and the calories are less compared to the regular refined sugar.
Add 1/2 tbspn of baking powder, 1/2 cup of chopped almonds and 4tbspn of ghee,
(which is purely optional), but I would still recommend to add some form of fat like shortening or oil, if not the cookies would be rock hard. I added about 4 tbspn of ghee but still we had hard time taking the first bite, it was bit hard.(remember it is diet cookie so it is not supposed to taste that good as the regular cookie)
 
                      

Mix up everything well add required water or milk to make it into a soft dough, then roll it into a sheet of 1/2 inch thick. Cut into your desired shapes and place them on parchment paper and bake it for about 15 mins at 350c.
