Have heard a lot that when kids grow up they demand munchies for umpteen reasons to follow behind it. And mothers find it hard to let them stick on to something healthier and sane. Salads in my mind in the coming days but as of now baked some cookies. Used palm jaggery instead of sugar and whole wheat instead of refined flour as usual. To add the protein content some powdered peanuts too!
Hope this will satiate their urge to munch on and curb their hunger and cravings too!
Recipe
Butter - 1/2 cup
Whole wheat flour- 1.5 cups
Peanut powder - 1 cup
Palm jaggery syrup - 1 cup
Baking powder - a pinch
Cocoa powder - 2-3 tspns
Choco chips - 1/2 - 1 cup ( optional)
Method
Throw in all the ingredients into a large deep bowl and mix well and gently with a fork or your fingers. Add few drops of milk to bring them together if you want.
Once the dough is formed, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven for about 10 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and make small balls and place it on a greased baking tray.
Bake the cookies for about 20 minutes or until you see it all puffed up and bottom turns golden brown
Remove the cookies from the tray and lay on a wire rack to cool
Once cooled completely store in a clean jar and store.
Note : For the jaggery syrup, I melt 500 gms of palm jaggery with one cup of water, strain and store and use one cup of the syrup for this cookie.
Bake and enjoy
Thanks
