These are the best cookies I have ever baked. The appearance and the crunch were unbeatable.
Have used regular oats,wheat flour, desiccated coconut and almond meal. You can dry roast fresh coconut and use that. Almond meal can be made at home by grinding the almonds in a mixer grinder.
Grind half a kg almonds and store the almond meal in an airtight container. Use it in any recipe, be it a cake or cookies. This will increase the nutrition quotient of your recipe. And thats why we bake at home.
Jaggery can be ground to a fine powder and used. You can use any other sugar you have. Just powder it before using.
I have added roasted water melon seeds. Dry roasting and storing in air tight containers is the best way to avoid worm infestation during the rainy season. Or you can store them in the freezer.

Hi. Thanks for the recipe! Would like to try this, can I make this in cooker as I don’t have an oven! Can you please suggest an OTG to buy. TIA
Hi, Thanks. Yes, you can bake on a gas stove. I think Morphy is good.
