Whole wheat granola cookies

Hope everyone is safe and staying at home. As we are lockdown it’s time to enjoy doing what you love the most and was not able to do with busy schedule.

Baking is one of my hobby that works as a stress therapy. Today I have made whole-wheat granola cookies with goodness of honey and dry fruits.

Well this recipe just formed as I was having some left over granola. Why to waste when it’s yummy, healthy and can make a great recipe.

So presenting my recipe from scratch.

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat flour – 3/4th Cup
  • Granola left over – 1 Cup
  • Honey/sugar powder – 3/4th cup (if you prefer more sweet can add 1 cup, and if you want to go more healthy replace sugar by honey)
  • Dry fruits (almonds, cranberry, raisin & walnut) – 1/2 Cup
  • Butter/Ghee – 1/2 cup (as per availability in lock-down)
  • Vanilla essence – 1/2 Tsp
  • Pinch of salt if you are taking unsalted butter

Procedure

  • Add sugar and butter in bowl whisk well till light and fluffy. Add vanilla essence and mix well.
  • Shift whole wheat flour, Granola and salt in another bowl. Add dry ingredients raisins and almonds to whisked butter and sugar and mix gently.
  • Bind together to form a dough. If the mix is dry add 1 or 2 tbsp milk and make dough (if you are replacing sugar with honey skip milk part)
  • Make small balls from dough depending on size of cookie you want to make and press slightly to flatten.
  • Preheat microwave/oven at 180°C. Arrange the balls on parchment paper or grease the tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges turn slight brown
  • Be careful cookies would be soft at this time carefully take out and let them cool on wire rack.

Once cooled they will turn crispy, store in airtight container and enjoy munching ?
