Whole Wheat Oats Raisins Cookies

A healthy oats-raisins-wholewheat cookies for the chewy cookie lovers.

Ingredients:

• Whole wheat flour 100 gm
• Oats 100 gm
• Butter 75 gm
• Baking soda 1/4 tsp
• Salt a pinch
• Vanilla extract 1 tsp
• Brown sugar 1/2 cup
• Raisins 1/4 cup
• Choco chips 1/4 cup
• **Flax gel 2 tbsp or 1 egg

Method:

• Cream the butter and sugar well till the mixture is soft, fluffy and creamy. Add the flax gel and vanilla extract and mix again.

• Mix the oats, whole wheat flour, salt and baking soda till everything is combined well.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix the raisins and choco chips into it.

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and keep it ready.
• Preheat the oven at 160 degree for atleast 10-12 minutes.
• Make small equal sized balls and place them on the baking tray. Poke holes on the cookie and press them a little.

• Bake these cookies for 18-20 minutes or till the sides appear to be slightly golden.
• Take them out of the oven and cool on a wire rack.
• Store in air tight containers and enjoy them.

Notes:

• **Flax gel: Take 1 tablespoon flax seeds and grind them into a coarse powder. Add around 4 tablespoon hot water into it and stir well. Keep it aside for 6-7 minutes. They will turn into a slimy and gel like solution. Strain it using a soft muslin cloth. This clear gel will resemble an egg white. Use 2 tablespoon of it as an egg replacement. 

• In case you eat eggs, you can add an egg instead or flax meal. 
• You can add any dry fruits of your choice.
• Some part of the sugar can be replaced with honey too. 
• At times such cookies take longer time to bake. So keep checking after 15-16 minutes. 
• They will be a soft when they come out of the oven. They will become crispy as it cools. Even otherwise it tastes good as chewy cookies.
