Everyone likes cookies!! These are my favorites - dense, filling, tasty, easy and so good for the health! They are so versatile - have them with milk in the evening for a nutritious evening snack, or pack them up in the school tiffin for a short break (which is ideal time for "Junk" food like chips, or white sugar, butter centric ready made cookies).
This recipe, I found on the net somewhere(I forget where though!), and is easily my fave healthy low fat cookie recipe, which meets all the criteria I have for inclusion in this space. Go ahead, make these and have with your evening tea without feeling guilty!
This makes around 36 odd cookies depending on the size you make and thickness.
Ingredients:
Dry ingredients -
1 cup wholewheat flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats/ quick white oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cinnamon powder ( I use about 2 tbsp because.....I just love the aroma of cinnamon powder :))
1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Wet Ingredients -
1/2 cup honey / brown sugar - light or dark / white sugar (ONLY If you don't have access to first two options)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 egg (beat with 2 tbsp of water)
Note : I usually go for 2 egg whites, and I adjust the quantity of water a little bit
1 tsp vanilla
Yummy -
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts
Optional -
Flax seeds/sesame seeds/cranberries/blueberries/ 1/2 ripe banana mashed or whatever takes your fancy!!
Method :
1. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.
2. In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together.
3. Mix dry with wet, add raisins and walnuts or anything else you plan to add.
4. Cool the mix for about 20 minutes in the fridge.
5. Preheat oven to 335 F(168 C)
6. Drop by teaspoonfuls on baking sheet & press down with fork. I use my hands to mold the cookies since the batter is quite stiff.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie.
8. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
