Whole Wheat Chocofills

Close your eyes and imagine biting into an ordinary looking cookie and finding your mouth filled with fudgy chocolate. Heavenly isn’t it??

My 8 year old had been requesting for a ‘dark fantasy’ kind of cookie and this is what I came up with. You might sometimes wonder what to do with left over condensed milk  or the last few of spoons of cocoa powder in the carton. Well here you go, follow these simple steps and make these mouth- watering cookies.

Recipe

Whole Wheat Chocofills- Fudgy chocolate filled cookies.

Servings     15 cookies

INGREDIENTS

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup Powdered Sugar

3 tbsps Cocoa powder

1 tbsp Salted butter

2 to 3 tbsps Condensed milk

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine cocoa powder, salted butter and condensed milk together. Refrigerate for 15 mins.
  2. Make marble sized balls of this mix for the filling and refrigerate until required.
  3. Cream the unsalted butter and sugar together until it turns light and fluffy. [ Procedure-In a large plate take the butter and sugar. Using the back of your palm, press/ flatten down the mixture and mix in a circular motion. This takes about 10-15 mins]
  4. Add the whole wheat flour and bring into a soft dough.
  5. Make lemon sized balls of the cookie dough.
  6. Flatten each between your palms and place the chocolate filling prepared in step 2 in the center.
  7. Seal from all the sides, similar to how we prepare stuffed parathas or dumplings.
  8. Press it down to get a flat base and refrigerate for 10 mins
  9. Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 mins.
  10. Arrange the cookies on a parchment lined baking tray.
  11. Bake at 150 C for 10-12 mins or until the edges start to turn light brown.
  12. Allow to cool completely and store in an air tight container.

RECIPE NOTES

  • The mix of cocoa powder , condensed milk and butter might feel a little sticky to start with but after refrigeration it becomes easy to shape it . Add the condensed milk one spoon at a time and bring it all together.
  • Oven temperature and time may vary. Your cookie is done once the lower edges start to brown.
  • You can also use drinking chocolate powder in place of cocoa powder.


Happy Baking

A moist whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake. This eggfree banana cake flavoured with a dash of cinnamon is perfect as a tea time snack. It is another special day. My youngest son’s first birthday. I wanted Adbhut’s first ever cake to be something he would enjoy. Here’s something with his favourite fruit. I am super happy about how this whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake turned out. It is simple, healthy and flavourful at the same time. My home smells all warm and ‘cinnamony’. It is often thought that whole wheat bakes are dense or taste ‘aata -like’. Try this. Its soft, moist and unless you tell its wholewheat no one would guess it. Recipe Cook Time            45 minutes Servings                1 loaf INGREDIENTS 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 and 1/2 tsps baking powder 2 tbsps Cocoa powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder {optional} 1/4 tsp salt 2 Ripe bananas { medium size} 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2

Mom’s Eggless Cake

  I have had this cake since I was 5. Mom would use the little round oven and we would keep peeking into the glass top to see the cake rising. The whole house would smell deliciously warm and I don’t think we ever waited for the cake to cool down, those warm slices would disappear within minutes. Everyone remembers their first bake. Mom’s recipe introduced me into the beautiful world of baking. This is and will always be my favourite recipe. This is perfect for beginners [I baked it when I was 14 and my almost 9 year old did it brilliantly 2 weeks back]. Can’t get simpler than this now, can it? Recipe    INGREDIENTS 2 cups All purpose flour 3/4 tsp Baking soda 1 cup Milk 1/2 cup   Oil 3/4 cup Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla essence INSTRUCTIONS Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. Beat the milk, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together till it turns into a white creamy mix. [or you can simply put all the ingredients in an electric mixer and give it a few whips] Sieve
