Wheat Cookies

Singh likes biscuits with his morning tea. Am not a biscuity person, but I could gobble packs of Pure Magic Chocolate till my teeth fall out. So shopping entails buying biscuits, tonnes of them.. Not only do they cost a bomb, but there is a truckload of artificial stuff in them that makes them so perfectly tasty!

So I have started making biscuits at home. From wheat. Healthy stuff.

I tried the eggless variety too, but honestly, they suck big time. Feels like chewing on rotis!!

So here we go on the egg version (We still do not have a camera):

INGREDIENTS:

– 1 cup wheat flour (atta)

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1 egg

– 1/2 sugar (Ideally brown sugar)

– 1/2 cup butter (I use the white unsalted homemade one) 

– 1 teaspoon vanilla

 

FLAVOURING:

You may choose from any of the following or make your own:

– 2 tsp ground cinnamon (dalchini)

– 1 tsp carrom seeds (ajwain)

– 1 tsp nutmeg (jaiphal)

– 1/2 cup chocolate chips

– 1/4 cup rum (if the dough is too watery, add more wheat flour) 

 

DIRECTIONS:

– Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C

– Mix together the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, and salt

– In a large bowl cream butter using an electric mixer / beater

– Add the sugar, vanilla and egg and beat it till the sugar looks dissolved

– Then add a a large spoonful of flour mixture one at a time to the butter mixture

– Beat this till it forms a soft dough

– In the end, add the flavouring of your choice

– Keep the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes

– Put spoonfuls of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. You may make balls or any shapes that you like too!

Enjoy!
