I bet you’ve had molasses cookies or ginger cookies before. These are similar, but instead of molasses, we’re using jaggery. MMMMMMmmmm. So good!

Instructions
- Grate the jaggery using a large, coarse grater. It will be sticky and moist.
- Combine with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and water in a small sauce pan. Turn on low and melt slowly. Stir with a spoon if needed. This process takes about 2-3 minutes. Make sure the spices are evenly mixed in the melted jaggery.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the melted jaggery mixture, ghee, sugar, and egg. Use a hand mixer to whisk together until light and fluffy. About 5 minutes.
- Add the flour mixture in two parts and fold in with a fork. It should form a soft dough that sticks together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 20 minutes. Otherwise, go ahead and roll into about 24 one inch balls.
- Roll dough balls in sugar, and place 1.5 inches apart on a baking sheet. (Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.)
- Bake at 375ºF (190ºC) for 12-14 minutes to get crisp cookies. Slightly shorten the cooking time to get chewier cookies. When done, remove from oven, and immediately cool on a wire rack. The cookies will get slightly harder as they cool but should remain soft/chewy inside.
- Store in an airtight container.
Thanks for sharing this information.It’s really good.
These are hands-down the best cookies I’ve ever made! They remind me of Swedish Christmas cookies but better because of the Cardamom (and probably the ghee)!
Waoh…..Yummy and healthy cookies.Thanks for sharing.
