We were going on a short family vacation to Wayanad, Kerala with my husband’s first cousin whom we call “mama” and his wife - my favourite manni (sister-in-law). Mama is very fond of cookies and I wanted to bake some for the trip as we were driving down and thought this would serve as in-between snacks. I took this recipe from my dear friend and my baking guru Sowmya’s blog www.nivedhanams.blogspot.in. This particular cookie turned out to be wholesome and filling… my little one calls it snow ball cookies and loved it.
| INGREDIENTS | |
BOWL - 1 | |
| Whole Wheat Flour | 1 cup + 2 tbsp |
| Baking Powder | 1 tsp |
| Salt | a pinch |
| BOWL - 2 | |
| Sugar | 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp |
| Oil (Canola) | 1/4 cup |
| Coco Powder | 1/2 cup |
| Banana Puree | 1/2 cup |
| Vanilla Essence | 1 tsp |
BOWL - 3 | |
| Powdered sugar for coating | As per requirement |
METHOD
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degree celsius.
- Mix bowl 1 and bowl 2 well separately.
- Now add bowl one into bowl 2 but little at a time. Do not beat the mixture, just fold it.
- Cover the bowl with foil and leave it in fridge for 2- 3 hrs. I left it overnight.
- Take it out from the fridge and make small balls (grease your palm before making balls). If the dough feels sticky, put it back into fridge for some time.
- Line parchment sheet on baking tray.
- Coat each ball with powdered sugar to place them on the baking tray.
- Bake for about 12 – 15 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and place them on cooling rack.
- Store them in an air tight container.
NOTES
- I used ripe robust bananas.
- First complete making balls from the dough and then start coating sugar.
