Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

Learn how to make best Whole Wheat Oatmeal cookies that are egg-free too! These oats cookies are healthy and yet delicious.

Every one of us is quirky and I am no exception. Whenever I try any new dish, I try my best to decipher the recipe. And then there are times a recipe is handed down to us, in the form of ingredients. I never buy anything without looking at the ingredients and if I do end up liking that stuff, I would try to figure out the recipe from those ingredients. Not every time I have been successful but I love such kind of experiments.

Recently the husband and I were on a coffee date. Along with our regular coffee, the husband got a small pack of cookies. Oatmeal Cookies to be specific. Now I am not a cookie person at all and if the cookie is slightly overboard with either butter or sugar, I cant stand it at all. Given that oats were used, there was only one of two possibilities – the cookie would either taste like  medicine or oats flavor would be masked with too much butter and sugar. Surprisingly, the cookie was delicious. I saved the wrapper carefully to decode the ingredients and give it a try at home.

Last evening as I was clearing up my handbag, I discovered this wrapper and I knew I had to try it immediately. This recipe of Eggless Oatmeal cookies ispurely based on my instinct and I must say that I am happy with the results. I added in some golden raisins and chocolate chips (stuff that I had handy) but on the hindsight, I could have left the cookie plain as it is. I learnt a few things along with the way, do check out the detailed step by step pictorial recipe and some useful tips in notes below.

Instructions

 

Prep Work –

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Pre-heat the oven at 180°C for 10-15 mins.

How I made -

• In a bowl add ¾ cups of instant oats along with whole wheat flour.
• Add baking soda, salt and coconut powder/desiccated coconut. Mix well.
• In another bowl, add melted butter followed by cane sugar.
• Mix well until the sugar and butter are well combined.
• Add the sugar mixture to the oats mixture along with liquid glucose/honey, chocolate chips, raisins and vanilla essence.
• Using a spoon, mix it really well.
• Add 1 tablespoon of milk and using fingers, bring the mixture together. Add an additional 1 tablespoon of milk as needed and make the cookie dough.
• Make small equal sized balls out of the dough and gently press each ball slightly flat. Place them not too close to each other on the lined baking tray.
• Bake it on pre-heated oven at 180°C for 15-20 mins until the cookies are golden. Remove them from oven.
• Let the cookies cool down completely and store them in air tight container. Serve with some milk.

Note –

• Choice of add-ons are as per preference. The cookie wrapper I saved up had mentioned dried papaya, cranberries, almond flakes, coconut flakes, raisins and chocolate chips.
• I had liquid glucose lying around since a couple of months and when I saw that the ingredients contained that, I gladly used it up. But taste wise, it was just like sugar. Honey can be used if liquid glucose is not available.
• If the dough is a little sticky, grease your palms with extra butter.
• Chop up the raisins if they are too big (like mine were), the raisins bulged and changed color as I had put them whole. Helps equally distribute add-ons/
• The cookies would be soft to touch when just out of oven, let them cool down for 5 mins before removing them from the tray for further cooling.
