Recipe for Flourless Cookies

This was my very first attempt at making a healthy version of Cookies. It was specially requested by a friend for her 16-month old Son who was in this phase of eating ONLY cookies. So she thought why not give him a healthy version and be guilt free. I made these for her and the little champe njoyed them! Happy Me 🙂

With some guidance from my SIL Sophie of Sophie’s Kitchen Love and a tip I received from Sascha, a certified Nutritionist in Dubai(Just get rolled oats and make your own flour, she once said. Atleast you’ll know you're eating 100% oats and not a mixture. This you can substitute for all your Maida products)

So these are Flourless cookies made with Powders of Mixed Nuts and Rolled Oats, which yesss! I ground at home. Do make these super simple and delish cookies for your kiddos and be free off the guilt of them eating junk.

Ingredients

100 gms Almonds
100 gms Walnut
100 gms Pista
200 gms Rolled Oats
Dry Coconut Powder(optional)
Raisins(Optional)
Chopped Cashew(Optional)
Chopped Dates(Optional)
3 Eggs
200gms Raw Sugar Powder
300gms Jaggery Powder
1tspn Baking Soda
1tspn Baking Powder
2 tspn Vanilla essence
1 tspn Cinnamon Powder
1/2 Tspn Salt
100gms Choco Chips(optional)

Instructions

Dry Roast the Almonds, Walnuts and Pistas in a pan
In a mixer grinder, grind each Roasted dry fruit separately into a fine Powder
Dry Roast the Oats, and powder this too
In a Wide Bowl add all the Ingredients and gently whisk it
Then take a Spatula and Mix the ingredients so that everything is combined evenly
Pre-Heat the Oven on top and bottom heating for 10 minutes on 200 °C
On a Baking Tray, place a Parchment paper(NOT a Butter Paper)
With the help of a spoon, drop small portions of the cookie mix on the parchment paper
Notes:
(1) Don’t worry about the shape, because as the cookie is baking, it flattens into circles.
(2) The portions have to be small because as the cookie is baking, it flattens and spreads
(3) The distance between each cookie mix should be atleast 2-3 inches as it requires space to spread out
Sprinkle some more chocolate chips on each cookie mix if you like
Note: You can also sprinkle any chopped dry fruits of your choice
Tuck the Tray into the oven and bake the cookies for 20-25minutes (middle rack) on 180 °C
Take the cookies off the paper and place it on a cooling rack till it comes down to room temperature.
Note: The cookies will be soft to touch as soon as they are ready. Do not panic. They will turn crunchy once they hit room temperature
P.S. This is the other batch where I sprinkled coconut shavings on the cookies. I've used this pic as a reference as I forgot to click a pic of this step for the choco chip cookies 🙂 oops!
Once the cookies come down to room temperature, you can place them in an Air Tight container. It stays at room temperature for about 2 weeks after which you will have to refrigerate them (only if they remain!Hahaha)
Note: If the cookies go into the air tight container when they are Hot or even slightly warm, the moisture won’t allow the Cookies to remain crunchy and fresh and you may have fungus growing on the cookies within a day or two. So please ensure the cookies are completely cooled to room temperature before they go into the air tight container
