Whole Wheat Almond Eggless Cookies
These Whole Wheat Almond Eggless Cookies are perfect gluten free, desserts, kid-friendly snacks, or a delicious treat anytime. Made with wholesome ingredients, they offer a healthier twist on traditional cookies without compromising on taste.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon green cardamom seed coarsely powder (ilaichi)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (8 tablespoons or 4oz)
- About 2 tablespoons of milk or as needed
Method
Pre heat the oven to 360 degree F.
In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, sliced almonds and cardamom powder well.
Next add soft butter and milk to the flour mixture to make dough. Dough should be very soft.
Divide the dough into about 24 equal parts and make them into balls.
Press each ball between your palms lightly; every piece should be about 1/2” in thickness.
Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet about inch a part.
Bake the cookies for about 18 minutes or until cookies are lightly gold brown.
After they become lightly golden brown remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Let the cookies cool down for two to three minutes before taking them off the cookie sheet.
Variations
- Replace the almonds with walnuts or pistachios.

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?
Khyati
December 11, 2016 at 4:07 amI 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 🙂

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..:)

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 🙂

These cookies are absolutely mind blowing and vegetarian all the same!

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!!

March 12, 2012 at 3:26 amI 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.

March 29, 2011 at 5:19 amHi 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!

January 13, 2011 at 6:46 pmDear Aunty,
I have tried these cookies and it was awesome.Can we do the same cookies with All Purpose Flour instead of wheat flour?
Liane Albert
January 7, 2011 at 9:51 amJaya,
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.
Supriya
January 6, 2011 at 1:50 pmI 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
Jaya
January 6, 2011 at 2:34 pmSupriya, 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.

October 5, 2010 at 2:21 ami 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 🙂

August 15, 2010 at 4:21 amHi 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.
Liane Albert
August 16, 2010 at 6:20 amHasiena,
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.
Jaya
August 16, 2010 at 10:48 amTake 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.

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
Jaya
August 11, 2010 at 10:37 amArchana, 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.

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?

Container needs to be stored at room temperature.

May 13, 2010 at 12:07 pmDear 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”.

May 6, 2010 at 11:42 pmHello 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??
🙂

April 23, 2010 at 2:07 pmI 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

April 23, 2010 at 5:28 amhi 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…………
vilekha
April 29, 2010 at 12:19 amplz manjula aunty reply to my mail…………..
Jaya
April 29, 2010 at 4:00 amVilekha, 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.

April 13, 2010 at 8:50 pmHey 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.
Amy
April 14, 2010 at 12:26 pmhie 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

April 7, 2010 at 9:06 amHello 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.
Jaya
April 6, 2010 at 3:11 pmSonal, 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. 🙂
Sonal
April 6, 2010 at 1:30 pmHello 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.

March 24, 2010 at 12:37 pmHello 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,
Manjula Jain
March 24, 2010 at 2:18 pmHi 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!

March 16, 2010 at 11:10 amhello 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.
Jaya
March 16, 2010 at 2:11 pmNeena, 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.
Neena
March 17, 2010 at 7:19 amhello 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?
Jaya
March 17, 2010 at 1:31 pmLOL – 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! 🙂

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?

greek girl from queens
March 3, 2010 at 3:20 pmNamaste 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.

March 3, 2010 at 9:27 amHello 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 ?
Jaya
March 3, 2010 at 11:10 amPriya, 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.
Neena
