Chocolate Cookies with Oats

If our body doesn’t get enough iron, we can end up with various health problems like memory loss, irregular heartbeat and a weakened immune system. To keep our mental and physical health in order, we must include iron rich food in our diet.

In this post, I am sharing the recipe of chocolate cookies which is made of aata and oats. Both of these ingredients are healthy.

Ingredients for 24 to 26 cookies –

• 125 gm Aata ( whole wheat flour)
•  3 + 1 tbsp Oats
• 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
• 7 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 8 tbsp Desi ghee (ghee)
• 1/2 tsp  Baking powder
• 1/8 tsp Soda bicarbonate
• Milk 3 to 4 tbsp

Method 

• Sieve  aata, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda bicarbonate three times, so that everything combines properly.
• Now add powdered sugar, 3 tbsp oats and ghee; and combine everything together.
• Add milk as needed and knead the mixture like dough.
• Cover and keep it to rest for 5 minutes.
• Now divide the dough equally and make small, lemon sized balls and shape the cookies as desired.
• Now sprinkle one pinch oats on every cookie and press it with finger tips.
• Grease baking tray with ghee and arrange all the cookies in it.

  

• At 180 degree temperature, preheat the oven with the lower rack in it.
• Once the oven is pre-heated. keep the cookies tray in it and bake the cookies for 20 minutes.
• Check cookies with toothpick. If it comes out clear, cookies are ready. If the toothpick has dough sticking to it, bake the cookies for 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Once done, take out tray from the oven.
• Cookies are ready to eat.
• After the cookies have cooled completely, store in an air tight container.
