Every now and then you stumble upon a recipe that’s simple, wholesome, and somehow disappears faster than you expect.
These Oats Jaggery Cookies are exactly that — soft, chewy, warm, and made with ingredients that genuinely make you feel good.

I made a fresh batch using A2 desi cow ghee from Isha Life, and the aroma alone felt like comfort in a bowl. The jaggery adds a naturally sweet, caramel-like taste, and the best part? You can make these cookies entirely in an air fryer.

They are perfect for evening chai, guilt-free snacking, or giving your mom “just one” and watching her finish the entire jar in a day.

If you love quick, healthy-ish treats that don’t need complicated steps or fancy tools, this recipe is for you.

🍪 Recipe Card: Oats Jaggery Cookies (Air Fryer)

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups oats (ground into a fine flour)
  • ½ cup melted ghee, cooled to room temperature
  • ⅓ cup jaggery powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Milk, added gradually as needed
  • 1–2 tsp whole wheat flour (only if dough feels too sticky)
  • Almonds for topping

Directions

  1. Start by blending the oats into a smooth, flour-like powder and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the melted ghee and jaggery until they turn creamy and well combined.
  3. Add the oat flour and baking powder to this mixture. Blend everything gently.
  4. Add milk a spoonful at a time — just enough for the dough to come together. If it feels overly sticky, sprinkle in a little whole wheat flour to balance it.
  5. Shape the dough into small balls, flatten slightly, and press an almond on top.
  6. Arrange the cookies in a preheated air fryer and cook them at 160°C for 15 minutes.
  7. Flip the cookies and air fry for 5–6 minutes so the underside cooks evenly, then turn them right-side up and bake for another 5 minutes at 180°C to get that perfect golden finish.
  8. Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight jar — they firm up beautifully as they rest.

If you’re looking for a healthy cookie recipe, something sweet yet nourishing, these oats and jaggery cookies are the perfect option. They’re eggless, quick to make, and come together beautifully in an air fryer. Whether you want a guilt-free snack, a lunchbox treat, or a wholesome dessert, this recipe is a great place to start.
