Cookie Cookie! Healthy Cookie! Tasty Cookie!

I happened to have been looking for an egg less oats cookie recipe for sometime. Because, I simply can't gulp down a single spoon of oats porridge. I can vomit, but not eat it. Happened to buy the 200g rolled oats pack last month, for the healthy way of diet, which did not work out for obvious reasons. Anyway. So, I was looking for this recipe, and dint find any very convincing over the internet. And, Somehow, I was bombarded with a Cakes and Bakes recipe book by Sanjeev Kapoor. Treasure.

There it was.

Also,I am sending this recipe for a cooking event encouraged by wonderful @MonicaManchanda, I happen to know from twitter, whose recipes I keep trying :D 

Here is the link to her wonderful blog Sin-a-Mon and the entry where this event is discussed, and Sanjeeta's Last Bite where she originally announced this Whole Grain Cooking Event.

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.

Final Product

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