Equipment

Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
½ cup vegan ghee melted
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add ghee and castor sugar.
Whisk till the sugar is dissolved.
Sieve whole wheat flour and add to the bowl.
Then add vanilla extract and salt.
Mix everything together and form a soft dough.
Using a measuring spoon (tablespoon) or a small cookie scooper, divide into equal balls and place them on the baking tray that is lined with parchment paper.
Continue the same process for the remaining dough. There is no need to flatten the balls. Keep some distance between each ball.
Preheat the oven at 360 degrees F. Bake these cookies for about 20-25 mins or until the base of the cookies turn brown.
The baking time may vary from oven to oven so keep checking after 10 mins.
Take them out of the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Then enjoy!

Notes

Use vegan ghee or regular ghee in this recipe. If wheat flour is not available to you, use any self-raising flour or maida. Add ¼ cup cocoa powder for a chocolate flavor.

Do not skip adding salt. Salt subtly enhances the flavor of all the ingredients. It also strengthens the protein in the dough, making cookies chewier.

Use a tablespoon or cookie scooper to scoop out the dough evenly. You can also shape them with your hands or use an ice cream scoop. There is no need to flatten the balls.

The baking time may vary from oven to oven so keep checking after 10 mins. Take them out when the base starts to brown. Do not overbake!
