Eggless Whole Wheat Coconut Cookies with just 5 ingredients

Eggless Whole Wheat Coconut cookies

I believe that 101 is an auspicious number.. :) so to celebrate by 101th post on blog thought of doing something sweet. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, yet appealing and something that could reach everyone's heart... I started my journey of blogging with my first post being of whole wheat cookies. I also wanted to make this moment of celebrating 1st from 101th post nostalgic...:)

In Bangalore we get awesome dedicates coconut powder. And I found some lying in my pantry from very long. And my family love cookies. So, Voila... I knew what I wanted to whip something quick...:D

I have a habit of collecting the cream that we get after boiling milk on top. I store it in freezer and then when its collected enough, churn it to get some home made butter. I have tried baking cakes with this butter, and the results are super awesome. I also make ghee/ clarified butter from this white butter. So I had collected almost 1.5 kgs. Of this pure no adulterated clarified butter with me..

I though of trying cookies with this home made ghee this time.. And trust me, I got the flakiest, melt in mouth and the most amazing cookies I have made till date...:)

With any further delay I am sharing this super easy recipe with only 5 basic ingredients

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup ghee ( clarified butter)  

- 3/4 cup powdered sugar ( you can add/ reduce sugar as per your taste)

- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour ( I have used my regular Ashirwad multigrain atta)

- 1/2 cup dedicated coconut powder

- 1/4 tsp. baking powder

Process

1. Pre heat the oven at 180 degrees C 

2. Take a big bowl and add ghee and powdered sugar to it
