- Eggless chocolate cookies
- Eggless chocolate cookies (with pressure cooker baking option)
INGREDIENTS:(YIELDS 40- 45 COOKIES)
| MAIDA | ALL PURPOSE FLOUR | 2 CUPS |
|---|---|
| CUSTARD POWDER | 1/2 CUP |
| BAKING POWDER | 3/4 TSP |
| BAKING SODA | 1/2 TSP |
| SUGAR | 1 CUP |
| OIL | 1 CUP |
| VANILLA ESSENCE | 1 TSP |
METHOD:
- Combine the flour, custard powder(i used Vanilla flavor) baking soda and baking powder.
- If you want for even mixing just sieve them together.
- Combine the sugar and oil and mix this till the sugar gets dissolved.
- I wanted to make it easy and  put them both in a mixer and whipped for a minute.
- Slowly add this to the dry ingredients(flour mixture) and combine well.
- Make it into a smooth dough.
- Pinch small portion of your dough. Make it into a smooth ball and flatten it. I just made lines with fork which is just optional.
- Line the baking tray with Parchment paper(butter paper)
- Place the cookies slightly away from each other. Mine slightly expanded while baking. Bake it for 10 minutes at 170 degree C.
- Take out from the oven and cool them in a wire rack.
- These are the first batch of my cookies which are slightly over baked.
- The cookies were soft when u take out from the oven. Once completely cooled they will become firm and crispy.
- Though these cookies were made with oil, they just melted in the mouth.
NOTE:
- Never over bake the cookies. Take out them when they are soft.
- If the dough is stiff while kneading add a tblsp of cold milk or water to make it a smooth dough.
- Chocolate chips or tutti fruity can be garnished on the top before baking the cookies.
- I used Vanilla custard powder, and i love to try this again with butter scotch flavor too.
