Eggless oats almond jaggery honey cookies / no butter no sugar cookies.
Want a guilt free snack for your sudden hunger pangs or sweet craving? Yes its totally guilt free and delicious. No butter no sugar. I have used organic jaggery or gur powder and honey.
Thanks to my neighbor Jagjeet Kaur for this organic jaggery powder. She brought it from farm for me.
With so many health benefits jaggery helps to increase the total count of haemoglobin in the blood and it is surprisingly effective as an aid for weight loss. This is because jaggery is a rich source of potassium, which is a mineral that helps in the balance of electrolytes as well as building muscles and boosting metabolism.
So enjoy your munching time.
Its my second attempt to make this cookies. When made it first time, taste was too good but cookies becomes flat and soft. So made it again with some changes and very happy with the result.
Soft and flat but delicious

I want want to know the optimum temperature for baking cookies.For baking cookies do v need to heat our oven fr both the sides((top n bottom)or only bottom
For cookies preheat oven for 10 minutes. Heat top bottom both sides. Normally set at 180° but for IFB microwave oven set at 160° to 170°.
Looks delicious!! 🙂

Hi Sujata… lovely recipe…but How to melt my jaggery?
Thanks Shrida. I have used powdered jaggery. But if you don’t have powdered jaggery just grate it.
Gita Subramanian :Can I use ghee instead of oil?
Yes sure. You can use ghee or butter also.
Since I have a lot of turbinado sugar, I wonder if I could grind it and use it instead of jaggery. I could not find jaggery in a store near me.
Turbinado sugar is a type of brown sugar. If jaggery is unavailable then you can use it. Just grind and use as I used jaggery powder. Hope you will like it.
Hi, sujataji, just read your recipe , I have a question can I replace oil with un salted butter or home made clarified butter ?
Yes you can use unsalted butter or ghee or clarified butter instead of oil.
Hi instead of oats what else can be used??
You can use any flour instead of oats like all purpose flour or whole wheat flour anything.
Thanks for the recipe. I am dying to try it since few weeks…i am yet to find time.
I don’t have coconut. Can I skip that? Will it make too much of a difference in the taste?
Taste may slightly differ not much. But don’t worry you can use 2-3 tablespoon almond more. Please do try and let me know how it turns out. Thank you!
Hi
Super Hit Cookies
Lately After baking, it came out very hard…Also the taste of jaggery could be felt more n sticky..
Can u give me few tips to get them on track as my family loved them
Thanks for trying Sudon. Didn’t use any fat like butter or ghee so these cookies are not soft mouth melting but crisp. Please don’t over bake. Over baking will make your cookies hard. Mine were crispy. Use organic jaggery powder or unrefined cane sugar for best result. Hope it help ☺️
Hello. I tried your cookies today, they turned out really good. I want to add protein powder for my husband, how shall I do that?
Thanks for your feedback. Glad you liked it. You can add 2 tablespoon or 1/4 cup protein powder if you want.
Can I bake this in cooker using salt as a base if yes for how long?
Yes you can bake these in pressure cooker. I never used pressure cooker to bake. Preheat the cooker for 10 minutes and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep checking.
Hi Sujata, Can I freeze the dough and bake at a later date. Like small quantities rather than the whole batch. Thanks.
Yes you can. But cookies will not spread much if refrigerate. Taste will be same.
Hello ma’am, I tried your cookie recipe, turned out very delicious & super yummy. Even I m taking orders for these cookies. This has become my signature recipe. I have highest order for these
Thanks Alaknanda for the feedback. I am very glad you liked it 😊
Hi Sujata, The cookies turned out really well. Everyone loved it. Just wanted to know what ingredient I can use to replace honey – as I don’t want to heat up (bake) honey. Will more sugar and milk will do!?
Thanks for trying. Yes, you can use little more jaggery powder or sugar instead of honey.

Hi Sujata, lovely recipe. The mixture already tastes great..how do I bake it. On convection mode or microwave mode.
Thank you so much. Glad you liked it. Bake in convection mode. And don’t forget to preheat the oven.
