Whole wheat flour: 1 cup
Baking Powder: 2 tsp
Cold Butter: 5 tbsp (approx 100 gm)
Salt: A pinch

Milk: 1-2 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
- Mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt and mix well.
- Chop the butter into very small pieces and add it to the wheat flour.
- Mix well with your hand so that butter blends with flour and resembles crumbs. Add jaggery and mix well.
- Add as much milk as is required to make a soft dough. Knead well to make a smooth dough.
- Dust the rolling board and rolling pin with flour. Take a portion of this dough and roll it out on the rolling board to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut it out using the cookie cutter to desired shapes.
- Gather the remaining dough and repeat procedure.
I divided the cookies into two batches. Place the cookies on a greased tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for around 10-12 minutes. You will know that the cookies are done once the base starts browning. - Remove from the tray and let cool. Remember that once the cookies cool down, they harden a little more.
