On the special demand of my kids today I baked cookies. (Peanut Butter Cookies) To give it a healthy twist I used whole wheat flour and jaggery instead of refined flour and sugar.
It was little chewy, delicious and healthy.

Ingredients-

• Whole wheat flour 2 cups
• Peanut butter 1 cup
• Jaggery Syrup 1 cup or according to sweetness required.
• Peanut oil 1/4 cup
• Baking Powder 3/4 tsp
• Water as required to knead the dough

How to make Jaggery Syrup?
I used to make it by 1 kg jaggery dissolve in 400 ml water. bring it to a boil, cool down, filter and store in a glass container. This syrup can be used to make various recipes and a healthy alternative to refined sugar. If needed thick consistency use 300 ml water for 1 kg jaggery.

Procedure-

• Mix wheat flour and baking powder and pass it through a sieve.

• In a bowl take all wet ingredients ( Peanut butter, jaggery syrup and peanut oil) Mix well with the help of beater.

• Mix wet and dry ingredients and knead a dough. use water wisely if required to knead a dough suitable for cooking. It should not be too soft. Keep the dough in the fridge for about an hour.
  

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade, meanwhile grease the baking tray with oil.

• Make small size balls out of the dough and press with the help of a fork. Sprinkle some sugar crystals if you like, it is optional just for decorative purpose.
  

• Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

• Cool down completely before storing in any container.

• It made about 3 dozens of cookies.
