Eggless Custard Coconut Cookies are delicious and quick to make. Made with Wholewheat flour, they are a healthy bake for Xmas or any sweet treat!
Sometimes, there comes along a recipe which you want to make, but due to some mental hangups you don’t make them : be it for health, family preferences, low calorie, egg based etc. Cookies n biscuits fall into that category : I love gorging virtually on these goodies, but perhaps (read almost) due to the high butter and refined flour I usually give these recipes a skip.
Till I saw this recipe. Not only is it eggless, it also was wholewheat and no butter. Guess I couldn’t wait any longer… Made some minor changes, and it was a super hit. Generally, sweet bakes are not preferred at home, but these were very well received.
These Cookies along with my family’s favourite of Chai Spiced Banana Bread & Transylvanian Yeasted Bread makes for such wodnerful edible gifting for the Holidays, THanksgiving or any celebrations!

PIN FOR LATER
How to make Eggless Custard Coconut Cookies:
- Sieve the dry ingredients : Wholewheat flour, custard powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder. To this add
dessicated coconut and mix well. - Add the powdered brown sugar (I used brown sugar cubes and powdered). Now add the oil and vanilla essence and bring it to a smooth dough (don’t knead)
- If its too try, add a tbsp of milk, and bind it (I didn’t use milk). Preheat the oven to 165 deg C . Rest the
dough for 5 mins, covered. - Make small roundels of the dough and flatten it with fork, place on lined baking tray. Use the rest of the dough to get similar cookies.
- With a fork, mark striations on the cookie. This is totally optional, but gives it a festive look
- Bake for 12-15 mins (mine was done at 14 mins) or when they start to crinkle and done at the edges.
- They will remain slightly soft when taken out and harden within 10 mins on a cooling rack.
- Store in a airtight container once completely cooled
- Serve with milk or as a post school / post workout snack.

They sound yum though I am not able to recall seeing custard powder cookies on shelves in American stores. Have to check carefully next time in stores.
I like cookies and can't stop munching on them all day. I have seen so many custard powder cookies on the net but yet to bake. These cookies look yummy and even the pics are great.
Cookies with wholewheat turn out fine Kalyani, You can try the various oatmeal versions. But I too stay away from them, because I feel the work is a lot more for cookies.
Cookies look delicious kalynai!! my kiddos stopped eating cookies, so i don't bake them anymore, but seeing a lot of cookies this marathon, i m tempted all the more, wanting to bake atleast a small quantity for myself!! 🙂
