Eggless Walnut Butter Cookies (Whole Wheat)
Whenever I think of Cookies, I always remember the quick 1 minute eggless chocolate chip cookies. I have tried cookies with All purpose flour, but as a healthy change this time, wanted to try with whole wheat flour. When I was seraching for eggless whole wheat cookies recipe online, I came across whole wheat cookies in jeyashri kitchen. I liked it, so I tried it with slight modifications. Crispy cookies became a great hit in our home, even my LO asks for one more bite:-)

Walnut Butter Cookies
Preparation time : 10 minutes | Baking time : 15 minutes
Ingredients:
Whole Wheat flour - 1 cup
Unsalted Butter - ½ cup (melted in room temperature)
Walnuts - ¼ cup powdered or finely chopped
Brown Sugar - ¼ cup
White Sugar - 4 tbsp
Cardamom Powder - ¼ tsp
Salt - ⅛ tsp
Milk - 2 tbsp
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit and grease the cooking tray with cooking spray
- In a bowl, mix the wheat flour, brown sugar, white sugar, salt, powdered walnuts and cardamom powder well with a whisk or ladle
- Add butter to the dry ingredients and make crumble. Add 2 tablespoon of milk and make a soft dough. Make small balls and in a clean surface, press each ball lightly and cut them with a cookie cutter in a desired shape
- Place them in a cookie tray without touching each other and bake the cookies for about 12 -15 minutes or until cookies are lightly gold brown. Cool them and enjoy:-)
My Notes:
- Instead using cookie cutter can also make round cookies
- Cookies appear chewy initially but they became crisp after they are cooled completely
- Almonds, pistachio, pecan or any nut of your choice can be used
- ⅛ teaspoon of Almond extract, vanilla or any other extract can be added to add flavors
- I used half brown sugar and white sugar instead white sugar can be fully used

Hi...vidya..aren't you suppose to add any baking powder? Also the last time I followed a similar receipe, my buiscuits turned out to be hard from outside n soggy from inside:( any idea what could have gone wrong?
Hi Vishakha,no baking powder is not required. There are lot of reason for this some are,
Over-baking
Over-mixing after adding flour
Heating butter instead of letting it softened at room temperature
Using too much salt

I was never a fan of walnuts until I tried a cake made mostly from ground walnuts. For whatever reason, I loved the concentrated nutty flavor. And am thinking these cookies would be like that. Yum!
Totally agreee Liz:-) thanks

Its really healthy..other day I tried tuttu frutti n I kept for around half an hour it turned out to b v crispy..so have a same question how Mu h time need to keep in oven..and does it remain soft n spongy and later after cooling turned to b alright
Wow tutti frutti cookie, love it:-) yes Ambica generally cookies looks soft when we takes out from oven after cooling it becomes crispy. Typically my oven take 13 minutes. Watch an eye after 12 mins. When you see light golden brown color remove from the oven. Do try it and let me know:-)
Super duper walnut cookies Vidya.. Nice presentation..

How much almond extract can we add? If we add, do we still add walnuts?
