Coffee Cookies are sure to be loved by anyone who loves the coffee flavor. And the plus point of these cookies is that they are made of whole wheat flour and not all-purpose flour. 
So these coffee cookies kind of call for a partial guilt free indulgence Of course they do contain butter and sugar so its better not to over indulge ;). But yes, these coffee cookies are definitely healthier then the store bought cookies
Given our busy schedule it is almost impossible to make some fresh healthy snack every day. Though I try to make some easy and healthy snacks like Tomato Salad cups, Sprouts Chaat, Cucumber Apple Salad etc, making it everyday is sometimes not possible. But on such days seeing my husband gorge on store brought cookies once again rings the “biscuit ke naam pe maida kha rahe ho” advertisement in a continuous loop. Thus to break through this guilt of watching him eat that junk, I am constantly on the look out for some wheat based cakes and cookies (Wheat Chocolate Chip, Oats Raisin Cookies, Whole Wheat Cookies(using jaggery) ).
Below is a step by step procedure with pictures for making these yummy and crunchy coffee cookies.
