Whole Wheat Cookies - Halloween theme

Ingredients:

100g whole wheat flour

50g butter at room temperature

20g oats flour (or almond flour)

40g jaggery powder or any other sweetener of your choice

Milk (this may vary depending on the flour, add 1tbsp at a time while binding the dough)

Few drops of vanilla essence or any other flavouring

Process: 

1. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and jaggery powder or any other sweetener of your choice. 
2. Stir in the vanilla essence and other flavouring like cinnamon or cardamom.
3. Sift together the flours (you can also add baking powder here, I have skipped it) and gently fold it into the creamed mixture. 
4. Mix everything well till you get a bread crumb like texture. 
5. Add 1tbsp of milk at a time to bring the dough together. Don't knead, gently just get everything together into a smooth ball of dough. 
6. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 
7. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. If the dough feels sticky and difficult to roll, cover the dough with cling film and keep it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to rest before rolling. 
8. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the lined baking tray. 
9. Pop the tray in fridge to chill for 10-15minutes. This step is completely optional, I do this to ensure that the cookies don't spread out too much in the hot oven.
10. Preheat oven to 170°C. Bake the cookies for 14-15minutes or until bottoms and edges of cookies are light brown. Note: Temperatures vary from oven to oven, so do keep a check whilst the cookies are baking. For slight moist and soft texture, don’t brown the cookies. For a crisp texture, brown the cookies lightly. 
11. Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire racks. After the cookies have cooled down completely you can decorate them with chocolate.
