Oats, chocolate and ginger cookies (eggless)
Easy to make eggless oats, chocolate and ginger cookies. They have a nice bite to them and the ginger gives it a nice kick; perfect with your cuppa or glass of milk.
Ingredients
- 1 cup jumbo oats
- 5 tbsp plain whole wheat flour (I used atta)
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 5-6 tbsp finely chopped crystallised ginger
- 100 gms dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- 4 tbsp dark brown sugar (I used muscovado)
- 6 tbsp sunflower / vegetable oil
- 7 tbsp milk
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the oats, flour, soda, ginger and chocolate.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil and milk.
- Make a well in the centre of the oats mixture and tip in the sugar, oil and milk mixture.
- Fold everything together. Do not overmix.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C and line a baking tray.
- With slightly damp hands, make approximately 25 balls of the mixture and arrange on the baking tray, keeping them slightly apart from each other.
- Flatten the balls with your fingertips.
- Place the tray in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or till nicely browned. Do keep an eye on them to ensure that they do not burn.
- Cool in the tray for 2 minutes and then transfer to a rack to cool completely. The cookies will firm up on cooling.
- Store in an airtight container.
