Abstract
The study aimed to prepare cookies with high-quality ingredients which are a rich source of nutrition and have a good shelf life. The study proposed a healthy composition of cookies by incorporating antioxidant-rich green tea while replacing usual principal ingredients like all-purpose flour with cereals like Pearl Millet (Bajra) and oats while substituting unhealthy refined sugar with healthy powdered jaggery. The study thus evaluated the health benefits of green tea cookies based on their nutritional value and sensory analysis.
