Who doesn’t like cookies but while I am doing the course (specially in the cookies week) I had such an overdose of sweet things that I couldn’t stand the sight of sugar and all I wanted to do was eat loads and loads of spicy stuff… That is when I chanced upon these cookies somewhere and I sure had to make them…. and man how yummy they were šŸ˜€ šŸ˜€

Ingredients

  • Maida – 125 gms
  • Whole Wheat Flour – 125 gms
  • Baking Powder – 1.25 gm

  • Sugar – 25 gms
  • Salt – 7.5 gms
  • Milk Powder – 20 gms
  • Custard Powder – 15 gms
  • Curd – 25 gm
  • Water – 12.5 ml
  • For the masala
    • Green Chilli – 10 gms (If u don’t want it very spicy cut this and increase others litte)
    • Methi Leaves – 10 gms (If u dont have fresh dry will do)
    • Mint Leaves – 10 gms
    • Corrainder Leaves – 25 gms
    • Curry Leaves – 5gms

Methodg

  • Grind all masalas together to form a thick paste
  • Cream butter, sugar, milk powder and custard powder together
  • Mix baking powder with the flour and gradually add to above and mix well
  • Mix curd and water to the above mixture
  • Add the masala and knead a little to form a dough.

PS: this yields quite a lot so make half the recipe if u like

atta, baking, choco chip, chocolate, cookies, Friday Feast, recipe, whole wheat

I love to bake, my son loves to eat baked goodies but still there are times when he has to demand for cookies… šŸ™‚ As these was mainly for him I didnt really want to do anything with maida and then I had this brain wave of making up a recipe myself… I did some browsing and thought some and came up with whole wheat choco chip cookies… and they were yummy…. the thin ones that I made crisp as they should have been and the round thick ones soft and chewy…

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 25 ml chilled milk
  • 20 – 35 gm choco chips (depending on whether u going to make it round or shape them)

Method

  • Mix oil and sugar together till it becomes light and fluffy
  • Mix whole wheat flour, cinnamon powder and baking powder together
  • Mix the oil-sugar mixture and milk to the flour to knead a soft dough.
  • Add the choco chips in it
  • Keep aside for 10 minutes
  • Shape or roll into rounds as u want
  • Bake for about 9-12 at about 160-180 degrees depending upon the thickness of the cookie

As I was making them for Ojas I shaped them into various shapes, animals, ginger bread boy, aeroplane, car…

And there was Ojas itself as a highlight

And the entire batch of about 20 cookies got over in under an hour šŸ™‚

Apricot Orange Cookies

apricot, baking, cookies, Friday Feast, kids eats, recipe, whole wheat

These days Ojas is in love with anything which is baking… how much ever fussy eater he be if something has come out of the oven he eats it šŸ˜€ and hence I am constantly on the look out for healthy baking recipes. After I made the Oat Bran Muffins, I tried Apricot Orange cookies this time

I had seen this recipe in Tarla Dalal’s Growing Kids cook book (which BTW has great recipes) and made some minor changes to the recipe while making it. There were about 20 medium size cookies which came out and were over in a day šŸ™‚

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (I used atta)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp soda-bi-carb (I skipped this and put more baking powder)
  • 2 tbsp dried chopped apricots (the recipe asks for 1.5 tbsp and also used kummani… I used the orange apricots and increased the quantity a little)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chopped nuts (the original recipe asks for only cashwenuts but I used a mix of cashew, walnuts and almonds)
  • 2 tbsp orange flavored drink mix (I used Kissan sqaush)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp butter for greasing

Method

  • Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and whisk to get a soft dough
  • Mould into medium sized balls, flatten and make a cross sign on the top with a knifefri
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 160 C for 20 minutes or till the cookies are golden brown in colour
  • Enjoy warm or eat after cooling
  • Can be stored for a long time only if they last šŸ˜€

I read about Cakes and Cookies Event at HomeCooked’s blog and that inspired me to send this post to the same event… This will be probably one of the first time I am sending a recipe to an event and ofcourse I am nervous šŸ˜‰
