Looking for a kid-friendly recipe? Of course, serving good food to kids is no less than an exercise. Probably everyone finds it challenging, so do you. But did you know there are ways to sneak in healthy goodness to your tiny tots? I am quite familiar with childish pranks. I have seen my nephew and niece indulge in finding escape routes from whatever is served on their platter. But my one-and-a-half year-old niece loves to indulge in my simple cookie recipes. She is my sweetheart- bhua's paro!
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.

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.
- Isn't it simple to bake a batch of deliciousness? Now, do you still wonder how to make oatmeal delicious? If so, do not forget to check our ever-growing list of oatmeal recipes here. We have more than 100+ oats recipes.

ReplyDeleteGlad, you like this batch of cookies. There are some vegan recipes on the blog and in my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC96RQx91IcuvpWy0V71pabA
DeleteHi Ravneet,
ReplyDeleteI love your page. I have been a silent follower for about couple of months and started trying your no BP/BS cookie recipes for my 1 year old daughter. I have tried sattu cookies about 2-3 times now and I'm facing some issues.
1) after mixing wet and dry ingredients, the whole mixture feels powdery and not really like a dough. This was the case even after keeping it closed for 30 mins. I measured and added everything according to the recipe. Can you tell me what I might have missed?
2) I have an IFB microwave/convection oven. 170C for 10 mins doesn't seem to work out well. The cookies always feel sticky in the mouth and not crumbly & soft. I have tried varying temperatures and timing, but then they become too brown if left for longer. Can this sticky problem be due to my issue #1?
Really appreciate if you can help me out. I want to solve this before trying out all your recipes.
Hello dear. Thank you for reaching out to me. I apologize for the delay in response. Well, if you are baking for your infant, you could substitute olive oil with ghee. Add at least 2 tbsp ghee and 2 tbsp olive oil if you wish to. If the dough feels crumbly always, it is due to sattu, which absorbs all moisture. It happens with gluten-free flours. Nevertheless, if you have been facing this issue always, try reducing the amount of sattu by 2 tbsp. Or add 1 tbsp milk into the creamed mix..cream again until you get it creamy. Then sift the flours. Mix and do not kenead. Immediately bake after 5 minutes. It's okay even if you do not autolyze the dough (keep it aside for 30 mts). You can still get melt-in-the-mouth cookies. Cookies tend to stick - well, the only reason I could think of is the use of sattu. Are you using sattu powder (storebought_? Is it roasted gram? You could try substituting the same with amaranth flour or any other flour that suits your baby. The idea is to keep the dough loose for crispy cookies. Hope that helps.
