Hello to all the readers !! These days I am on baking spree & trying different cookies’ recipe. Today I am going to share Eggless version of Whole Wheat Coconut Cookies recipe. These coconut cookies are delicious in taste & easy to make too.
The warm buttery sweet aroma of the cookies filling the kitchen brings a shear smile on everyone’s face at home. I thought of trying some healthier version of cookies. Of course you cannot minus the butter and sugar from the cookies, but at least replace “Maida” (or All Purpose Flour) by “Whole Wheat Flour” making it more fibrous and less fattening. It earns some more “cookie points” when combined with one other healthy ingredient-Coconut.
You can have these in your breakfast with glass of milk or even give these to your kids in tiffin as snack. It is a perfect accompaniment to your hot cup of Masala Chai or Coffee in evenings.
