Instructions
 

Prepare the Wet Ingredients

  • Combine softened butter, jaggery, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix until well combined and the jaggery is dissolved.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom powder, and fennel seeds.

Make the Dough

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to bring the dough together.

Shape the Cookies

  • Roll the dough into 12 small balls (approximately 25 grams each).
  • Gently flatten each ball between your palms to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Bake the Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Cool and Store

  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
  • Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Cookies

  • For extra flavor, toast the fennel seeds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the dough.
  • If your jaggery is very hard, you can microwave it for a few seconds to soften it before mixing.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Keep a close eye on your cookies while they are baking, as ovens can vary. Start checking for doneness around the 10-minute mark.
