Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2.5 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1.5 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Ginger ground
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup Jaggery also known as gur or khand; can substitute with brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Water for flaxseed meal mixture
- 200 gm Chyawanprash
- 2-4 tbsp Milk as needed to adjust dough consistency
- 1/4 cup Caster Sugar for rolling the cookies
- 1 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
Instructions
Prepare the Flaxseed Meal Mixture
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp flaxseed meal and 1 tbsp water. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.
Cream Butter and Jaggery
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and jaggery until light and fluffy.
Combine Wet and Flaxseed Mixture
- Add the flaxseed meal mixture to the creamed butter and jaggery. Mix well to combine.
Incorporate Chyawanprash
- Stir in the Chyawanprash until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve a soft, pliable dough.
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape and Roll Cookies
- Roll the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Roll each ball in castor sugar.
Bake the Cookies
- Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them slightly with your palm. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Check for doneness around 12 minutes, as oven temperatures can vary.
Cool and Enjoy
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Chyawanprash Cookies
- For a richer flavor, use homemade jaggery instead of brown sugar.
- If your dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Adjust the baking time depending on your oven. Start checking for doneness around 12 minutes.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They will also store well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
