Ginger Jaggery Cookie

My family and I were suffering from fever during Christmas holidays. Usually we go somewhere nearby for few days. My daughter and I bake together a variety of cakes, cookies all over the Christmas holidays. This time we could do nothing for the physical ailment. I felt bad for my daughter, all her friends were having fun and she was lying in bed. By the grace of God we all are fine now. Although I bake through out the year, but personally I love to bake during this winter time. We can not think of Christmas without ginger cookies. My husband brought some date palm jaggery, so I thought I would use jaggery instead of sugar to make cookies. So I baked Ginger Jaggery Cookie to welcome New Year. The combination of jaggery with ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg make this cookie more delicious.

Date Palm Jaggery is very popular in West Bengali, it is made from the early morning sap of the Date Palm trees. These soft and chewy Ginger Jaggery Cookies are just what your holiday season has been waiting for! These soft,chewy Ginger Jaggery Cookies are impossible to resist!
