Brownsugar Wheat Cookies

Cookies who doesn't like them?? Have them in breakfast or give your child in tiffin or have them at teatime ya give to your child with a glass of milk. Anytime anywhere cookies are enjoyed by all. These days people don't prefer maida / All purpose flour much or you can say people prefer wheat flour over maida / All purpose flour. I personally feel if we are giving cookies to our kids why not make and give them a healthier version and make in wheat flour.




Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) wheat flour (spoon & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornflour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (use 1 teaspoon if you love cinnamon)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (250g) packed dark brown sugar (or light brown)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
METHOD:
  • 1. In a bowl take wheat flour,baking soda,cornflour, cinnamon and salt and mix.
  • 2. In another bowl take melted butter and brown sugar and mix until no lumps remain. 
  • 3. Whisk egg to this mixture and pour vanilla and mix again.
  • 4. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients and mix together and form a dough.
  • 5. Your dough should be soft and thick.
  • 6. Cover your dough with a cling film and let it chill for 2 hours minimum up-to 24 hours. Please do not skip this step.
  • 7. When you wish to bake cookies take the dough out and let it sit for minimum 10 minutes if you have chilled for 2 hours and if you a have chilled for longer time then let it sit out of fridge for 30 minutes maximum.
  • 8. Preheat oven at 160 C for 10 minutes.
  • 9. Make small balls out of dough and shape into cookies and bake for 10 minutes precisely and exactly after 10 minutes take them out and press with fork in center and bake for another 1-2 minutes.
  • 10. Your cookies will be ready. They will be soft and chewy. Keep in air tight container and they remain fresh up-to 7 days.

  • TIPS:
  • 1. You can use all purpose flour instead of wheat flour.
  • 2. You can add 1/4th cup suji for crunchiness.
  • 3. Do not skip step of keeping dough in fridge this is mandatory step.
  • 4. You can use canola oil instead of butter, your cookies will be really light.
