Kuch Meethha Ho Jaaye

Having contributed to a few Food blogs, I always wanted to have my one of my own, where I could key down my attempts at cooking. Also, the movie 'Julie and Julia' plays a pivotal role in the formation of the blog. 
I am not a great cook. Honestly. Somehow, the culinary skills are genetic. 
Now that winters have started, winters being the food season, I thought to kick the dormancy out and try getting back to cooking.

This happens to be the first post of the blog, so this had to something sweet. Also, I started the cooking season with sweet. Honey Cinnamon Cookies it is. One healthy cookie with Honey and whole wheat floor.

Here is the recipe:

Honey Cinnamon Cookies: 

Ingredients:

1 cup butter

1 cup honey (or to taste)

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. ea. cinnamon, cloves, half a pinch of salt, cardamom

3 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour

Method:

• In a saucepan, cook honey and butter together until it reaches the boiling point.
• Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Sieve  flour, baking soda and spices until no streaks remain together. Add sufficient flour to the honey and butter mixture to make a soft dough (about 3 3/4 cups).
• If dough seems too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. If dough seems too dry or dense, add a tablespoon of milk until dough is of a good consistency.
• Form the dough into thin rolls, wrap in wax or parchment paper and chill thoroughly in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Slice into 1/8-inch thick slices and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 10 minutes or until done.

Fiasco: The shape, as you can see. :D
