Eggless Coconut Cookies (whole wheat)

Delicious eggless Coconut Cookies made with whole wheat flour & desiccated coconut. These coconut cookies are delicious, healthy, easy to make and perfect to serve with a cup of tea of coffee.

These days I am on baking spree and trying different cookies recipe. The warm buttery sweet aroma of the freshly baked cookies makes the entire home smell heavenly.

I thought of trying some healthier version of eggless coconut cookies. Of course you cannot minus the fat 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 like coconut.

What is desiccated coconut?

The recipe specifically uses desiccated coconut which is basically dried form of coconut in shredded or powder form. It is easily available in grocery stores or amazon these days. Do not confuse it with coconut flour as it is different from desiccated coconut. Some more recipes with desiccated coconut:

• Instant Coconut Ladoo (Balls)
• Instant Coconut Chutney

You can have these whole wheat coconut cookies 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.

Some of the readers often complain that they are new to baking & find it difficult to follow the written recipes. So I have now shared a video for this same recipe on youtube also. You can check out the link below. Please Subscribe to the channel if you like this recipe 🙂
