Equipment

Measuring cups and spoons
Convection oven
Bowl for baking the cookie dough
Whisk and spatula

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour I used Al baker chakki fresh aata
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
½ cup jaggery powder You can use brown sugar or normal white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoon milk
100 grams unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170C, Line a baking tray with parchment paper. All ingredients should be at room temperature.
In a mixer jar, take jaggery or brown sugar or white sugar along with cardamom powder, baking powder and salt. Grind it to a fine powder. The jaggery powder i used had few lumps, so i ground it to fine powder.
In a large bowl, take flour and add the ground sugar and spice mixture to it. Mix it well with your hands or use a whisk to mix.
Add butter to this dry flour mix and start mixing it with your hands. Slowly add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time and make a soft dough.
The dough comes together quickly. Roll the dough in to 2 logs and refrigerate it for 15 minutes. This helps the butter to solidify and the dough a bit stiff.
After 15 minutes, remove the dough and slice it into discs and place it on the parchment laid baking tray.
I tried my best to cut it into proper discs, but clumsy me, couldn't so i again reshaped the cut discs between palms into proper round shape.
The cookies spread while baking, so make sure you leave enough space between cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 14 minutes. Oven baking time might vary from model to model, so keep an eye on the cookies from 12th minute.
Remove the cookies after the said time. While removing they will still be soft in the middle. Let it be in the tray for another minute or two.
Then remove them with a spatula onto a wire rack, let the cool down completely.
Store the cookies in an air-tight container. They have the perfect texture with crisp edges and a soft center. Pairs well with a cup of hot tea or coffee.
These cardamom cookies make a great edible gift for the upcoming holiday season.
