Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Cookies

May 29th, 2013 Madhuram Posted in Cookies 3 Comments »

It’s been a while since I baked anything because these days my hands are full with my two and a half year old son. The once very independent and “I-couldn’t-care-less about-you” attitude son has become so clingy, wanting my undivided attention literally 24/7. I wish that it’s just a phase. I managed to bake these double chocolate cookies in the little time that he was napping last week. So easy to put together these cookies are very big on taste and was devoured by the kids I had baked it for. I found the recipe here and made few changes to make it egg free. I usually whip together the egg replacer powder and water together until its frothy and then add it with the rest of the wet ingredients. This time I wanted to try adding the egg replacer and water directly to the creamed butter mixture and it did work. The cookies turned out great. The original recipe had all-purpose flour in it which I replaced with whole wheat pastry flour and nobody found it different at all.

Oatmeal Cranberry Zucchini Cookies

I wanted to bake something healthy for the kids get-together we have every month. The kids come prepared with a topic already chosen and present it. We also organize other activities which they actually enjoy doing while in fact they are learning a thing or two. Another incentive for them is enjoying a variety of snacks and I try my best not to miss the opportunity to try new recipes. When I was looking for recipes, I found this cookie recipe. I made some changes to make it egg free and accommodate the zucchini I had, instead of the apples mentioned in the original recipe. Just like blueberries, I love baking with zucchini. It melds beautifully in most of the recipes and gives the baked goods a moist texture while boosting the nutritional value. This oatmeal cookie recipe is no exception to it and turned out delicious. Needless to say, it was a hit with the children and they kept asking for more. These cookies won’t get crispy because of the zucchini. Instead it has a cake like chewy texture.

Vegan Apple Breakfast Cookies

I have been on a baking spree the whole past month and surprisingly all of the recipes I tried turned out great; one better than the other. I can’t wait to blog about the recipes. Each one unique in its own way, with different ingredients, different flavors and taste; some healthy and some not so. This breakfast cookie recipe definitely falls in the healthy category. I did not want to be the reason to break your diet resolutions by posting decadent recipes this month. At least not for the time being. The hummingbird cupcake recipe which I posted last time was an exception. I’ll post such recipes maybe next month when we can blow the resolutions off and prepare for Valentine’s Day/week.

Tomorrow is the big day and I hope you are done with all your chores. I’m assuming that the list of Christmas baking recipes I posted last week should have been of some help for all the beginners and bakers on a time crunch. I couldn’t resist from trying another eggless cookie recipe over the weekend that I had bookmarked from here. Even though I have tried cranberry shortbread cookies and chocolate shortbread cookies before, I couldn’t ignore this one.
