Eggless Baking

Eggless Wholewheat Custard Powder Coconut Cookies

Sometimes, there comes along a recipe which you want to make, but due to some mental hangups you dont make
them : be it for health, family preferences, low calorie, egg based etc.Cookies n biscuits fall into that category : I love gorging virtually on these goodies, but perhaps (read almost) due to the high butter and refined flour I usually give these recipes a skip.

Till I saw Aarti’s recipe. Not only is it eggless, it also was wholewheat and no butter. Guess I couldn’t wait any longer… Made some minor changes, and it was a super hit. Generally, sweet bakes are not preferred at home, but these were very well received. Thank you, Aarti. I am sure I shall keep making this.

What you need:

    cup)
  • Oil (I used canola) – 1/3 cup

Method:

  1. Sieve the dry ingredients : Wholewheat flour, custard powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder. To this add
    dessicated coconut and mix well.
  2. Add the powdered brown sugar (I used brown sugar cubes and powdered). Now add the oil and vanilla essence and bring it to a smooth dough (don’t knead)
  3. If its too try, add a tbsp of milk, and bind it (I didn’t use milk). Preheat the oven to 165 deg C . Rest the
    dough for 5 mins, covered.
  4. Make small roundels of the dough and flatten it with fork, place on lined baking tray. Use the rest of the dough to get similar cookies.
  5. With a fork, mark striations on the cookie. This is totally optional, but gives it a festive look
  6. Bake for 12-15 mins (mine was done at 14 mins) or when they start to crinkle and done at the edges.
  7. They will remain slightly soft when taken out and harden within 10 mins on a cooling rack.
  8. Store in a airtight container once completely cooled
  9. Serve with milk or as a post school / post workout snack.

    They sound yum though I am not able to recall seeing custard powder cookies on shelves in American stores. Have to check carefully next time in stores.

    I like cookies and can't stop munching on them all day. I have seen so many custard powder cookies on the net but yet to bake. These cookies look yummy and even the pics are great.

  3. Cookies with wholewheat turn out fine Kalyani, You can try the various oatmeal versions. But I too stay away from them, because I feel the work is a lot more for cookies.
