As a kid, I never remember having store bought biscuits and cookies. There will always be a batch of homemade cookies that mom would make and keep. And we used to love all those. In between snacks during study time used to be all about munching these cookies. Sometimes, she used to even hide a batch if she was expecting guests so that we don’t finish everything, but we used to find out all those hiding places too..:)
Compared to my mom, I don’t bake so many different varieties of cookies in large batches and keep. And whenever I do make a batch, it doesn’t last long either! Double Chocolate Cookies with a soft fudgy centre is one of the favourite among kids here. There are some others that they like too – cookies which they are used to having when they visit my parents, and which are mom’s specialities – like the nankhatai, melting moments, moon crescents etc.
When my friend and my videographer Krithika mentioned to me that she had tried out an eggless whole wheat cookie and it came out really well, I was curious. Eggless baking has been something that I have got really interested in after my sister and my brother’s kids started showing allergies to eggs. So when she shared the recipe, I tried it out immediately. All the ingredients needed were available with me, and I was really surprised as to how quickly the cookie dough was made and baking time was hardly 10-12 min. So in less than 30 min, I had a batch of cookies ready! I would say that you should definitely give this a try. This recipe uses whole wheat flour and instead of refined sugar, you can use jaggery/coconut sugar.
