sattu cookies no baking powder: how to make oatmeal delicious

This sattu cookie recipe in airfryer is dedicated to my Paro. I love to experiment with healthy cookie recipes for Paro darling. This is one simple cookie recipe that you can prepare in an instant. It requires no fancy tools, nor any expensive equipment. Of course, all you need is sattu or roasted gram dal powder and oatmeal.

If you wish to make these sugarfree cookies, then you should have jaggery handy. Else, we can prepare sattu cookies with raw cane sugar. I am no longer buying white sugar, so all of my recipes would be sugarfree from now. But that does not make all of these recipes diabetes-friendly, please keep this in mind.

Whether you have an oven or microwave convection or an airfryer or even a stovetop, you can prepare this simple cookie recipe in a jiffy.

Making these healthy airfryer cookies is all about gathering the ingredients, sifting the flours, whipping up the wet ingredients, mixing with hands, and rolling out into lime-sized balls before putting the cookies in the oven.

How to make Sattu Cookies for kids

The best thing about this no baking powder cookie recipe in an airfryer is that you can vary the proportions to suit the taste preferences of your family.

• Whisk ghee, olive oil, raw cane sugar, and milk until fluffy.
• Throw in a pinch of salt.
• Take a sieve and sift sattu, oatmeal.
• Add dry roasted sesame seeds.
• Mix everything with hands. DO NOT KNEAD.
• Keep the dough as is covered for 30 minutes.
• This will allow the flours to absorb the moisture on their own rather than you forcing the same into them.
• After half an hour, the dough should have hardened a bit.
• If it is difficult to roll and looks too hard, add 1 tsp of milk and gather the ingredients.
• Roll into a thick chapati or make lime sized balls and use a fork to make insertions.
• Preheat oven or microwave convection at 170 degrees for 10 mts.
• I baked sattu cookies in the airfryer.
• Preheat the airfryer for 3 mins.
• Place cookies at a distance from each other and bake or airfry at 170 degrees for 10-12 mins
• Temperature settings vary from oven to oven, so keep an eye on your kid-friendly cookies and bake them little longer if they look unbaked. But do not brown these too much.
• Allow the sattu cookies to cool down completely on a cooling rack or wire mesh outside the oven/airfryer before munching on them.
• These cookies should be done rather quickly.
• Enjoy melt-in-the-mouth cookies for kids and elders alike.
