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.

Notes

Grind the jaggery if it has lumps and sift it. You can use any other sugar too.

Add half a tsp of baking powder for crunchier cookies. I try to bake without leavening agents.

If the cookies dough isn't refrerigerated,it may take less time to bake.

Baking time may vary depending upon your oven's temperature settings.
