    Hello,

    Good morning,

    I tried this cookie recipe last night. followed instruction step by step and let them out to cool over night, but they were still soft.

    Please advise what i can do to make sure they turn out crispy?

  3. Khyati

    I was looking for whole wheat-eggless cookie recipe as my toddler suddenly developed a stubborn want for it! Came across this one and I immediately tried it looking at the less prep time and easy-to-find ingredients.
    The cookies came out AWESOME! I’m not a cookie lover but I ended up loving these so much that I ate 3 while they were still warm 😀
    And making a new batch again today for family and friends.
    I made below variations:
    Replaced almonds and cardamom with Choco chips

    Replaced butter with oil

    Reduced sugar qty to 1/3rd cup

    Thank you so much Ms.Manjula 🙂

    1. Manjula Jain

      Khyati, thank you, I like and appreciate the twist to the recipes, that is fun part of cooking.

  5. sabari.shankari@gmail.com

    Aunty,, thank u sooooooo much for the recipe.. I tried this one today.. I had no butter, so used oil. Also reduced sugar like 1/3 cup of sugar for 1 cup flour.. The flavor I got while baking made me to eat 3 biscuits at the same time.. Really a very nice recipe.. Gonna try other biscuits from your site 🙂

    1. Manjula Jain

      Sabari, thank you and making changes are always good

    Hi,

    No baking powder? How they turn crisp?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Cookies will be crispy

  8. shikha

    I made the cookies, they came out very well. But i felt the sugar content is too high..next time i’ll add 1/4th cup sugar in 1 cup WW flour.
    I made slight change. Replaced 2tbsp whole wheat flour with 2 tbsp semolina and kept the dough in fridge for 1/2 hour. The cookies came out to be very crispy. Thankyou Manjula ji for the recipe..:)

    1. Manjula Jain

      shikha, sounds good

  9. Kasturi Kannan

    what kind of temp adjustments can we do. I have a microwave and the max temp setting is 200

    1. Manjula Jain

    2. Prachi

  30. shri priya

    hi manjula aunty,

    i tried these cookies today and they came out fantastic!!! thanks so much for an easy delicious recipe without eggs or baking powder/soda. i do not have a cookie sheet so i lined my cake pan with some aluminum foil and baked them. and they came out perfect, although i had to bake in three batches. but the good thing is that the house was filled with the aroma of butter and elaichi for long 🙂 an excellent option for snacks with tea, especially on a rainy day 🙂

  31. Kadambari

    Hi Manjula Aunty,
    These cookies are absolutely mind blowing and vegetarian all the same!
    I could not believe how easy they are to make and how yummy they turned out.
    Thanks a ton! I made a jar full at home and they disappeared in no time. They have a slight nan khatai feel to them which makes them taste Indian and super delish!!

  32. satinder

    hi manjula i learn cooking just from u thank u god bless u

  33. Amanda

    I was craving something sweet tonight but didn’t really have much in the pantry (no white flour, brown sugar, etc.) and no eggs. I scoured the internet for a cookie recipe that could work for what I did have on hand and I finally found this one. It seemed too good to be true so I wasn’t expecting much, so I was really surprised when the first batch came out… they were delicious, and even more wonderful with a mug of tea! This simple recipe is one for the books! Thanks a bunch, these cookies made my night.

  34. Anusha

    Hi Manjula aunty,

    I’ve always loved all ur recipes.
    Recently I wanted to bake cookies, and I tried out this recipe.. some how my cookies tend to burn on the bottom.. although I follow the timing and measurements carefully!

    Please tell me the brand name of the baking sheet you used and where you got it from?.. so tht I will try baking with that one..
    thank you,

  35. mishal

    Hello,

I had already tried many of your awesome recipes and big thanks for that.. today I made wheat almond cookies but my cookies didn’t turn as good as yours.. they didn’t expand.. I don’t know why.. I did exactly same as you said. Any pointers on what may be missing or cautions to be taken are highly appreciated.

    Thanks a ton

  36. Supreet

  37. Ira

    Thanks
    Ira

  38. NSJ

  39. Rashi

    Hello Manjula Aunty,

    I have tried the cookies today, they have been AWESOME!!! my son (3yrs old) helped me in mixing the ingredients and they were ready in no time… It is a very easy recipe. I liked it so much for one more reason, as i am a Jain and don’t take egg, this is awesome, especially for the Daslakshan Parv and Bhado’s month!!!

  46. Liane Abert

    Hi Sebastine,

    One cup is equal to eight ounces.

    One ounce is equal to 28.35 grams …..so 8 ounces ( 1 cup ) is equal to 226.80 grams.

    The best website if you are not familiar with convertins is
    http://www.covert-me.com

    It converts everything you could ever imagine… maybe Manjula can use it when everyone asks for conversions in the future.. I refer to it regularly.

    I hope that this helps!

  47. sebastine

    hello maam
    iam new to this site.but would like to try ur recipes.

  48. Sheetal

    It came out great..I like the flavour of ilaichi in it…it tastes like our mawa mithai.

  49. radhika

    deepti

  50. Shalini

    Dear Aunty,

    I have tried these cookies and it was awesome.Can we do the same cookies with All Purpose Flour instead of wheat flour?

  51. Liane Albert

    Jaya,

    You always have good advice too – although my comment now doesn’t necessarily have to do with the burning issues she is describing another important thing to think of when baking cookies is to not overbake them – although, if you do overbake them, then yes, they will burn. It’s more for people who might not be so familiar with baking.

    But also, it’s important not to overbake cookies because once you take them out of a hot oven, the pan is still hot and they will continue to bake slightly once they are taken out. it’s important to let them sit on the sheet for a short time and then put them on a rack to finish cooling – either that or follow the recipe directions for once they are out of the oven. Sometimes what happens is people will take cookies out of the oven, see that it isn’t “set” and thinking that they aren’t done, put them back in the oven until they are overcooked. It’s a very common mistake when new to baking.

    Also, another good tip when baking cookies is to make sure and use a cool cookie sheet. Don’t take cookies out of the oven, remove them from the pan and immediately put new dough on the still warm sheet. Let the pan cool down and then put the dough on. This helps the cookie not to expand and “melt” and winds up with a denser cookie as opposed to a very thin cookie.

  52. Supriya

    I made the cookie as per recipe but in less then 10 mins it started burning from bottom and its not baked from top…can u tell me what i shuld do

    1. Jaya

      Supriya, probably the problem is your baking sheet is too thin. For cookies to bake properly, you need a good quality, heavy weight baking sheet. The fact that they were burning on the bottom before the rest of the cookie, sounds like the baking sheet (aka cookie sheet) is the problem.

      Another possible cause is your oven is too hot. Although you set the heat at 350 degrees, ovens can vary 25 to 50 degrees different from each other.

      If the cookie sheet isn’t the problem, try baking them at 325 instead and see if that fixes the problem.

      Good luck.

      1. Manjula Jain

        Jaya,
        Ihank you.

      2. Supriya

        Thanks jaya

  53. sandhya

    I made this almond cookies and it’s turn out realy good my kids and i love this cookies. even my parents love this,too Thanks for great recipes.

  54. Padma

    I made this .. They were done within two days. Really delicious. I used Almond meal from Tarder Joe’s. Didnt need milk at all when the butter is at room temperature. Thank You Aunty for your wonderful recipes.

  55. Jaya

    Is whole wheat flour same as ‘ghehu ka atta’?

    1. Falguni

      yes it is same

  56. monica

    hi!

    i am new to cooking. i tried the cloves version.
    i use an OTG. should there be any change to the recipe for it?
    i find that mine tasted good, but got burnt from below and slightly uncooked from top. what am i doing wrong?

    monica

  57. Padma

    I made these cookies today. They tasted pretty good. I hardly needed any milk. I also tried a batch with half almond meal and half cup whole wheat flour. That came out good too:)

  58. Neha

    Jaijinendra aunty,

    I just baked these cookies & my home is filled with the sweet aroma but in just 15 min ,my cookies turned little bit black from the bottom.
    Do we have to decrease the temperature after putting cookies in the oven.

    Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!
    🙂

  59. nandita suresh

    I think the cookies are not expanding b’coz it doesn’t have baking soda in it, I added a pinch of baking soda & instead of almonds I used chocolate chips, the cookies were wonderful crunchy & tasty! Thanks to Manjula aunty!

    1. ruchi

      i tried these cookies myself and they did expand…as it is also mention in one of the previous reply i would like to mention again…it is better to keep the butter out of the fridge well in advance so it becomes soft rather than melting it 🙂

      1. Manjula Jain

        Ruchi,
        Sorry, it should be 1/4 cup of water may be spoon less or more.

  60. ruchi

    Hi Manjula, it was awesome!!!!! Can u pls also suggest a recipe for wheat bran cookies? Thanks. God bless you 🙂

  61. rozy

    hi, it was good in taste .. but cookies didnt expand

  62. Api

    Hello aunty,
    cookies were really good in taste but didn’t rise/expand at all…i wonder which flour you use? I exactly followed your ingredients. Thankyou, Api

  63. sado

    MANJULA! hru?? Good, i hope. I was just wondering, what can we make with ROLLED OATS? Make a video on it please (:
    Thanks, i love you XD

  64. sado

    hi, i was just wondering, what kind of oil can we replace with the unsalted butter? thanks in advance :).

  65. Anjali

    it was good in taste .. but cookies didnt expand .

    1. rozy

      hi, i know you melt the butter. do not melt the butter.it should be at room temp.if you melt the butter and put it in the ingredients,then cookies will not be expand.

  66. hasiena

    Hi manjula. I have whole wheat at home. I was wondering if i put them in the blender and try to make it in a powder would that work and be suitable for the cookie making?
    Hope to hear from you soon.

    1. Liane Albert

      Hasiena,
      I do a lot of baking and I do not think that trying to grind “whole wheat” at home using a kitchen blender will make a flour even close to suitable enough for making cookies with. A blender would not have the grinding capacity for taking a whole grain and grinding it fine enough into “flour” I think it would wind up being a waste of time, energy and resources to even try. I am not trying to be critical but I would hate to see you go through a lot of work and effort to have it not come out ok.

    2. Jaya

      Take the wheat to a bakery where they are more likely to have the industrial quality grinders.

      If you have wheat at home without a grinder, then what do you do with the wheat? Just curious.

  67. Sowmya Rajesha

    Hi Aunty………
    I tried this recipe….and the cookies came out very very delicious………
    All my family enjoyed the cookies……….especially my son Keshav.
    He is telling a special thanks to you

  68. archana

    hi manjula,

    i tried this cookie this evening n during the process of baking i was very excitedly waiting for my cookies to bake but then it didnt cook in 18 minutes. so i kept still 2 minutes ,but it didnt stil cook ….then i thought may be it might become crispy when i let it cool outside…..but then wen it cooled it was very soft from inside so i thought of keeping back again …..again i kept for 10 minutes but still it did not turn golden brown instead it was whitish a sort of creamish……i used cooker range with medium heat in the middle rack( i dont have temperarture reading in my cooking range instead i have timer)……can u say wer i went wrong plz manjula i want to try this again and see bcoz i likeeeeee cookies…..tnk u for ur time

    1. Jaya

      Archana, since you don’t have a temperature reading in your oven baking anything will be a problem. Go to a store that sells cooking supplies and buy an oven thermometer! You place on the same rack that you will be baking on and you can monitor the temperature of your oven. If you have a glass window in your oven it’s even easier because you can see the temperature without opening the door.

      Once the temperature is where you want it, avoid opening the oven door as this will release heat and drop the temperature briefly.

      From what you have described, the oven was not hot enough.

      1. archana

        hey jaya tnk u for ur time n tnk u for ur tips too……

  69. Harini

    Hi Aunty,

    I tried out this recipe the taste of the cookies were great, but it did not expand as it did for you. Should I use baking powder for this? Please give us some more baking recipes like salted crackers as it would not need oil and would be good for the health too.

    Thanks.

  70. krithiga

    hi aunty,

    this recipe looks good..i have one doubt..dont we need baking soda for cookies? will it expand without this?

  71. F

    Cardamom is used a lot in Indian cooking, particularly desserts. Sure, you can substitute it but the flavor will be different.
    It should be available in most stores

  72. swetha

  76. Archana

    Please let me know if you use any tool to chop/slice dry fruits. Yours are always perfect.

  77. Geeta

    hello Manjula aunty,

        I had exact same question about the shelf-life of these cookies.
        Does the air tight container needs to be stored in fridge or at room temperature like shakkar pares?

        1. Manjula Jain

          M
          Container needs to be stored at room temperature.

  78. Roli

  80. Sandy

    Dear Aunty, This recipe turned out awesome. You are just great, Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. I just cant beleive I made biscuits @ home that too so simple yet delicious. My hubby and me love biscuits and spent dollars all these days. Hence forth this is going to be a staple food in my kitchen. Will try Naan Khatai as well. Hope you dont mind when I say this “Love you so much Aunty”.

  81. Varsha

  82. Malini

    Hello Manjula aunty,

    Thank you very very much for this recipe. I love atta biscuits. This is perfect. Its a big big hit in my family. Everyone seems to love it so much that I end up making jars full each week for distribution ONLY.. I am very happy that my family is loving and send me text messages asking if I could bake some. I have made these biscuits atleast 12 times in the last one month. However, there is a request from my family members asking me to make the biscuits a bit softer ( if possible).. Is there a way aunty?? Its not that they are complaining about the crunchy cookies but they would love soft cookies if possible. Any help??

    🙂

  83. Tanvi

    I tried this receipe with slight variations:
    Added 4 cloves(crushed).The taste was great and the aroma of clove acted as an air freshner.
    Used a combination of half butter and half oil (sunflower) in the dough.Cookies were more crisp after cooling.
    Thanks
    Tanvi

  84. vilekha

    hi manjula aunty ‘m avid viewer of ur recipe……….they r really good …I tried this recipe in microwave oven with convection mode @250 degrees(max)..it took 25 mins…and the cookies didn’t spread as ur ‘s were……could u plz tell me the reason where I went wrong…………

    1. vilekha

      plz manjula aunty reply to my mail…………..

      1. Jaya

        Vilekha, recheck the recipe for the temperature. You cooked them at over 100 degrees LESS than what you should have. That’s why after 25 minutes, nothing happened. Your oven was too cool.

        Make sure too that you are using the Fahrenheit measurement. It’s 360 degrees F, not C.

  85. hello majula

    i want to know the cup measurment in terms of grams

    i tried ur cookies with the right measurements,but my cookies burnt from bottom and wasnt even crispy…it dint even spread nicely i donno wat the problem cud be,well it cud have burned bcoz of all ovens r different but otherwise..i donno wat went wrong plz.help.

    1. Maddy

      Hey amy,Low down your oven to 320F as Jaya said.I made nankhatai once with manjula’s recepie but they came out exactly how ur describing they were ery hard to chew though.So one of my friend suggested to replace butter with ghee.Here also I think if u’ll use ghee of same amount instead of butter ur dish will be awesome.

      1. Amy

        hie Maddy..
        thx a lot for your reply.
        I think i was making the cookies for the first time…and dint understand the colour darkness of the cookie,may be waiting for the cookie to get darker i let it cook for a lill longer…i even got the burnt smell quiker but i ignored and it got burnt from bottom,but when i removed n cooled it down it was just so wonderful…only keepin it for longer and waiting for the color to change spoilt my cookie…i threw all of them..and i m making with butter again 2day…will reply u once again its cooked perfectly…..:)
        love
        Amy

    Hi Manjula aunty,

    Yesterday i tried this cookie and it came out really good. My hubby liked it very much. I have tried many of your recipes which have all turned out very well. thanks for all your recipes aunty great cooking and really i have become a great fan of your dishes manjula aunty.

    Thank u so much .

  91. Gayathri

    Hello Aunty, Tried this recipe yesterday and it was yum. And Thanks to jaya for baking tips, it was helpful in determining the right time to remove from oven.

  92. Jaya

    Sonal, cookies that are burnt on the edges but uncooked in the center could be from too high of oven heat (each oven registers temp a little differently) and/or the cookie sheet is too thin and therefore gets too hot.

    Try reducing your oven temp to 325 degrees (IMO 360 is too high). Also check your cookie sheet. It should have a nice heaviness too it. Hope this helps. 🙂

  93. Sonal

    Hello Manjula Aunty,
    I tried the recipe with 1/3 cup splenda (instead of sugar). The cookies turned out pretty good. It tasted really good but was a little sweet so maybe next time I will try a little less splenda. However, the cookies were a little uncooked in the center but almost burnt on the sides and bottom; do you have any suggestions for that? The taste was awesome especially with a light taste of the cardamom seeds. This is truly a great website. I appreciate what you do for us younger Indian generations away from India. Thanks so much.

  94. sandhya jain

    hi manjulaji i remember my mom makes this kind of biscuits n we eat 4to 5at a time thanks for this recipe i will try all surely

  97. Sonal

    Hello Manjula aunty,
    How are you doing?
    I have been visiting your website lately and wanted to try the Whole Wheat Almond Eggless Cookies. I love your website and your recipes.
    I want to substitute sugar with splenda or sweet & low, what should I do? Please advise.

    Thanks,

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Sonal,
      I have never tried with splenda, try it and let us know, usually I find splenda little more sweet then sugar, instead using 1/2 cup sugar try with 1/3 cup splenda and use little more cardamom because that hides the smell and after taste effect. Good luck!

  98. Anisha

    Well yours is a very good site.It definitely makes one want to cook.

  99. Nusrat

    Hi aunty,

    I tried the cookies they turn out yum… just one question…. mine didn’t come out chewy as chocolate chip cookies, instead they are crispy(not hard). though I like the textute, I just want to confirm how they shld be chewy or crispy… please let me know….

    Thanks….

    1. Manjula Jain

      Nusrat,
      These cookies should be crispy.

      1. Nusrat

        Thanks for the reply… My kids are loving these cookies….I will make them often…. Thanks a lot for such a good recipe…..

  100. swathi

    Can we substitute any other nuts instead of almonds?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Swathi,
      Yes you can try with different nuts, I use sometime walnuts.

      1. Swathi

        Thanks for your reply

  101. Neena

    hello Manjula Aunty,

    today i tried your cookies recipe but they came out very hard. i don’t know what went wrong. maybe i kept it a little longer like 4 to 5 minutes more than your timming because i want to make it alittle brownish in colour. i used swad whole wheat flour. please tell me what was wrong in my method.

    1. Jaya

      Neena, you overcooked the cookies. Remove them from the oven just when the edges start to darken slightly. They will firm up as they cool once removed from the oven. If they have browned on top, they’re already overbaked and will be hard.

      1. Neena

        hello Jaya,

        thanks a lot for your reply. next time when i’ll try i’ll take out the cookies little earlier. i was already thinking that maybe Manjula Aunty gets the time or not but you are going to definitely reply my problem because you always reply others also. great job Jaya!!!!
        thank again!
        a little personal question, are you Manjula aunty’s daughter?

        1. Jaya

          LOL – no, we are not related and actually we have never met. I have been cooking and baking for a long time and it’s hard to resist replying to questions/problems. Hope the next batch of cookies turns out well! 🙂

    thanks

  119. Anu

    Auntyji,
    I normally get whole wheat for rotis from the local health store. This has a higher fiber content compared to the Indian atta. Will this work? They also have something called whole wheat pastry flour -do you think this would be better?

  120. Sukshma

    Easy to make and delicious to eat! Thanks!

  121. Priya

    Hello aunty,

    I tried your recipe today and it turned out really wonderful. Thanks for your wonderful recipe..

  122. greek girl from queens

    Namaste Manjulaji – Thank you for another wonderful how-to video. Your videos give me great confidence – beginning with the first one I tried on my own, for chapattis. I cannot wait to make these cookies.

    Except for the shape of them, they remind me very much of a special traditional Greek and Turkish tea biscuit that my grandmother used to make for us when we were children. She shaped them not into a ball, but into a circular, bagel-like shape. She sometimes made them with almonds, adding orange juice and star anise. In the Sephardic (Greek Jewish) tradition, they are known as biscotios, but my grandmother used a different word altogether, pronounced ‘KLOOTH ya,’ but unfortunatley, I’ve no idea how to spell it, and what the exact recipe is.

    Forgive me…I’m rabbitting on and on. I just wanted to say bahut shukriya, once again, for another brilliant recipe and video.

  123. megha

    hi,

  127. Smitha

    Hello Aunty,

    Can we use Indian based whole wheat flour for this? Thank you so much.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Smitha,
      Yes any whole wheat flour will work.

  128. shweta

    i think my kids will love it..wow..looks so yummy..
    i have all the ingredients so cant wait..and will tell u later how it comes up..

  129. Priya

    Hello aunty,

    I am staying in UK and hence the butter doesnt become soft even if i keep it outside. Can i melt the butter and then add it to the wheat flour ? Or can you please suggest me some other way to do it ?

    1. Jaya

      Priya, talk to people who work in the bakery of some local stores and ask for their advice. Melting the butter will make a mess. There must be a brand of butter that will soften at room temperature after a few hours because they do baking in UK and would need that kind of butter. Good luck.

  130. Neena

    hi aunty,

    i just saw your cookie recipe.thankyou so much for such an easy recipe. i will definitely going to try this.and will tell how it comes up!
