The choice of ingredients for this recipe is different from my other cookie recipes. Not only these cookies are diabetic friendly but are healthy too. These cookies can be a perfect partner for your munching time. All you need to read the recipe and try.

I recommend measuring ingredients on a kitchen weighing scale. This helps to be precise with measurements and helps to achieve desired results.

Let’s make our vegetable cookies recipe

Take a non-stick pan and heat 1 tsp oil on it. Sauté cumin seed, chopped onions, and green chili for about 2 minutes and then add grated carrots and green peas.

Cook for 2-3 minutes. Switch off the flame.

With the help of a masher, mash these vegetables. Let them cool down.

In a separate bowl take wheat flour, gram flour, cornflour, salt, sugar-free, butter, baking powder, and mashed vegetables. Mix everything with hands to a coarse breadcrumb-like mixture.

Can you use vegetable oil instead of butter for cookies? The answer is No.

People have asked this question many times, so I thought to address it here. Butter is important if you want your cookies not to spread or get de-shaped while baking. Butter holds the structure and shape of the cookie and vegetable oil cannot do this. Vegetable oil has a low melting point and stays in a fluid state while at room temperature.

You will need to add milk to bind the dough, however, just add 1 tablespoon milk at a time till you get a smooth dough. I added 2 tablespoons of milk.

Now cover the dough with a cling wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.

PS: Refrigeration will help the butter to solidify and bind the dough.

Meanwhile, keep the oven for preheating to 160 °C.

After 30 minutes take the dough out of the refrigerator and slice the cookies using a sharp knife. Arrange the cookies on a greased baking tray and put them to bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. The edges should turn golden.

PS: you could also use parchment paper instead of greasing the tray.

Note: I am not using a cookie cutter to shape the cookies, however, feel free to use a cookie cutter to give proper shape to your cookies.

Once baked, take the cookies out and transfer them to a cooling rack and allow them to cool down.

Your Eggless carrot cookies with all the goodness of vegetables are ready to be served.

Enjoy Deliciousness.
