I never baked with whole wheat flour and whenever I came across a bake with wheat flour, always wondered how it tastes. I was meaning to bake something with it and this month's sweet punch bake was a perfect recipe. This month, Ria chose whole wheat eggless almond cookies from Manjula's Kitchen. I followed the recipe exactly as given with less sugar. The first time I baked it, I baked it for 17 minutes and bottom of the cookies got a little burnt. The taste was pretty good. I finished all the cookies all by myself! I thought of posting the same pictures but could not get myself to do it. So I baked them again today for 14 minutes 40 seconds and they turned out perfect.

- Divide the dough into small round balls, just like peda. I got 21 balls.
- Place them on an ungreased baking sheet and flatten them a little.
- Bake them in a preheated oven for for less than 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Do remember that cookies continue to bake even after removing them from the oven.
