Amazing Mini Cookie Cereal

If you’ve ever wanted cookies for breakfast, this Eggless Wholewheat Cookie Cereal is the dream come true. These tiny mini cookies are crisp, chocolatey and utterly comforting—perfect with milk or enjoyed straight from the jar. The entire recipe uses basic pantry staples, comes together quickly, and gives you a batch of cute, bite-sized cookie cereal you’ll want to snack on all day. Made with wholewheat flour, jaggery and butter, this version is a much healthier alternative to store-bought cereal and a fun way to elevate your regular breakfast routine.

Let’s look at the main ingredients

Unsalted Butter

Adds richness and helps achieve that classic cookie flavour. Butter also contributes to crisp edges while keeping the crumb tender.

Powdered Jaggery

A minimally processed sweetener that blends easily into the dough. It adds a deeper caramel-like flavour and makes the cookie cereal taste warm and comforting.

Vanilla Extract

Enhances the aroma and balances the earthy tones of wholewheat flour. A small amount goes a long way in making the mini cookies taste fragrant.

Wholewheat Flour

Adds a wholesome, nutty flavour and brings natural fibre to the recipe. It also helps the mini cookies crisp up beautifully while giving them structure.

Baking Powder & Baking Soda

This combination ensures lightness, even in such small cookies. They help the mini cookies stay crisp without becoming dense.

Salt

A tiny pinch helps balance sweetness and brings out all the flavours.

Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate

Add bursts of chocolatey goodness. They melt slightly while baking and turn these tiny cookies into irresistible little bites.

Milk

Just enough to bring the dough together into a soft, pliable consistency for easy shaping.

Ingredients

1/3 cup (70g) - Unsalted Butter/Ghee

1/3 cup (60g) - Powdered Jaggery

1/8 tsp - Salt or 1/4 tsp - Pink Salt

1/4 tsp - Baking Powder

1 tsp (5ml) - Vanilla Extract

1 tbsp (15ml) - Milk

1 cup (130g) - Wholewheat Flour

1/4 cup (50g) - Chocolate Chunk/Chips

Instructions

 

• Cream the butter and jaggery: In a bowl, cream soft unsalted butter with powdered jaggery until smooth and fluffy.

• Add the flavourings: Mix in vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda and salt thoroughly.

• Add the dry ingredients: Add wholewheat flour and chocolate chips/chunks.

• Form the dough: Add milk and mix gently until you get a soft, pliable dough.

• Shape the mini cookies: Scoop out tiny ½ teaspoon portions and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If scooping feels difficult, you can roll the dough into thin logs and and cut out discs too.

• Bake: Bake at 180°C for 10-15 minutes, or until the mini cookies are golden.

• Cool completely: Transfer to a wire rack and let the cookies cool fully so they turn crisp.

• Store them in an airtight container for upto 3 weeks

Notes

• Instead of butter, you can also use ghee in this recipe. 
• If your jaggery granules are bigger, pulse it a few times in the blender jar or in a food processor.
• Depending on your flour, you may need any milk for the dough to come together. Add milk only if needed.
• You can add 1/4 tsp cinnamon or zest of 1 orange too, when you want to try different flavours.
