Whole wheat chocolate and copra (dried coconut) cookies recipe


Had couple of dried coconuts( copra) in stock. Thought of trying out cookies, yea that's the easiest I can think of with any ingredient  and I am sure its not surprising for you either :D
I used liquid jaggery instead of sugar and also used whole wheat so yea , I can claim it to be comparatively healthy. 





Ingredients
Whole wheat flour - 1.5 cups
Powdered copra( dried coconut) - 1 cup
Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup
Thick jaggery syrup - 1/2 cup
Cocoa powder - 2-3 tspns
Choco chips ( optional)
Hazelnuts ( optional - 1/4 cup
Egg - one ( I use country egg)
Baking powder - 1/4 tspn

Method
Throw in all the ingredients in a huge bowl and bring it together gently and knead it with fingers to a soft dough. If you feel the dough is not coming together please add few spoons of milk and make the dough softer.

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
Scoop out small portions of dough , make a ball and place it on the greased baking tray.
Place the tray in the top rack of the oven and bake for about 15- 17 mins on until the bottom of the cookie turns brown and not dark /burnt.

Remove the cookie carefully from the tray using a spatula and place it on a wire rack and let it cool.
Once cooled store in an airtight container.

Bake and enjoy!
Thanks!!! :)
