Amaranth, Oats, Almond Meal Cookies

In my endeavor to create healthy yet delicious cookies so that you  and I can indulge in guilt free snacking, this is another gem from my kitchen. These are crispy on the edges but soft and chewy in the centre. If you want crispy all the way then then let them sit in the hot oven for some time but keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
These cookies are  made with alternate flours, contain no baking powder, no baking soda and no sugar.
These are made with Jaggery powder or Shakker and are overloaded with Almonds, pumpkin seeds and raisins.
I have used half butter and half virgin coconut oil, you can use either by itself also.
If you find it tough to beat the fats then keep it in the fridge for an hour and then beat it into a light and airy mass.
