Cookies remind of Ma making nan-khatai in her square shaped cake oven when we were kids. The house use to smell so good when she makes them. The soft melt in mouth nan-khatais from Ma's hand will always be there in our heart & mind. Though she doesn't bake them any more. I learnt from her to make them after my marriage and I use to make them once in a while as in those days I was little reluctant about baking . So today like after almost 5-6 years of gap, I decided to make some simple cookies at home. And I did it. Its crunchy and softy at the same time. My little girl liked it very much. From next time there will be no limitation of my own innovation into cookie baking.
Ingredients:
Maida/Flour: 1 cup
Oats: 3/4 cup roatsed
Sugar: 1/2 cup powdered sugar (you can take less sugar as per your taste/requirement)
Egg: 1
Butter: 3/4 cups softened
Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp
Pinch of salt
Baking soda: a pinch
Baking powder: 1/2 tsp
Cornflakes : 1 cup crushed
Method:
Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius.
Blend the sugar and butter properly and beat the egg into it. Add the vanilla essence and mix. In another bowl mix flour, oats, salt, baking soda & baking powder. Now fold in the dry mix into the wet mixture of oil, egg & sugar and make dough. Take the crushed cornflakes into a bowl/dish. Take spoonful of the mixture like small sized balls/small portions and roll on the corn flakes and flatten them gently with the palm of your hand. Grease the baking tray with oil or butter and keep them on the tray keeping some gap in between them to allow room for baking. Bake these cookies for 25-30 minutes or till the cookies get that golden brown crust. Once baked , keep them on a cooling rack and keep in air-tight container and enjoy with your hot cup of tea/coffee and serve these crunchy cookies to your kids with their hot glass of milk.
