Oatmeal and Wheat Choco Chip Cookies

Someone rightly said ‘a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.’ I always thought that baking cookies at home will be a tough deal. Getting that right crunch and crisp will take multiple takes. But guess what? This recipe never failed me. I bake these when I am bored of eating packaged biscuits or cookies. It always gives me the satisfaction of eating homemade coffee-time snacks.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tsp Ghee
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar Powder
  • 4-5 Drops Vanilla Essence
  • 1 Cup Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Multigrain/Regular Oats
  • 3-4 Tsp Milk
  • 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 Cocoa Powder
  • Oil (for greasing)
  • 2 Cups Sand/Salt for Baking

Preparation

Prep: 30 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes

  1. In a bowl, add ghee and sugar powder. Whisk until it gets foamy. Then add vanilla essence and give it a quick mix.
  2. Next, add wheat flour, multigrain/regular oats, baking powder, baking soda and use some milk to knead a tight dough. Add chocolate chips and mix well.
  3. Divide the dough and add cocoa powder to half of it to make some chocolate-flavoured cookies.
  4. Now refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to make the dough firm.
  5. After 30 minutes, take a ball-sized portion and shape like cookies. Do not flatten. It will take the shape while baking.
  6. Grease the tray with oil and place these cookies at a sufficient distance from one another.
  7. Preheat the oven at 180-degree and bake for 15 minutes at 180-degree. For no oven option place, this tray in a 10-minute pre-heated kadhai with salt/sand and bake for another 15- 20 minutes.
  8. Serve at room temperature with a hot cup of coffee.

I come from a liberal Maharashtrian family where we discuss everything at the dinner table and our lives revolve around food. I started taking cooking lessons from my mom as a teenager but was not so fond of it. Slowly with time, my love for cooking grew fonder when I started getting appreciated for my cooking skills by family and friends. From making Kande Pohe for breakfast to making Cajun Spiced Potatoes for a cocktail party at home, they all have been a part of my journey. Cooking is like meditation to me; it relaxes my mind and soul. It truly releases some dopamine. But with my round the clock job as a digital marketer, I hardly had any time for regular kitchen visits. The lockdown period gave me more time to indulge in cooking and try new recipes. It has been a terrific journey so far.
