Wishing all a Happy and Prosperous 2011.

         i want to start my first post of 2011 with the crunchy chocolate melting cookie.i had seen this here  &  had bookmarked it long back. Today i got to bake them and i must tell you that they were so good.Just re-producing the ingredients and method with slight changes according to my requirements.i want to say thanks to sunita for such a wonderful recipe

Ingredients:
-----------------

Whole wheat flour( atta) --> 3/4 cup

Rolled oats --> 3 Tbsp

Dessicated Coconut --> 4 Tbsp

Cinnamon powder --> 1/2 tsp

Soda --> 1/3 tsp

Chocolate Chips --> 75 gms

Sunflower Oil --> 5 Tbsp

Soft dark brown sugar --> 5 Tbsp

Water --> 2 Tbsp

Flaxseed Powder --> 1 Tbsp

Warm Water --> 3 Tbsp

Method:

-----------

1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, soda, dessicated coconut, cinnamon powder and chocolate chips.
2. In another bowl, add the oil, sugar, water and break in the egg. Mix everything lightly with a spoon till the sugar is free of lumps.
3. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and tip in the flaxseed mixture(mix 1tbsp of flaxseed powder and 3 tbsp of warm water). Fold in , preferable with a rubber spatula or mix lightly with your fingertips, till everything is just moistened. Do not over mix.
4. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
5. Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C and line a baking tray with foil.
6. With damp hands, make 18 equal sized balls of the mixture and place them on the prepared tray apart from each other ( if you are baking in batches, return the unused cookie dough back to the fridge). Lightly flatten the balls with your fingertips.
7. Place the tray in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for about 20 - 25 minutes or till the top is firm and the edges begin to darken slightly.
8. Cool on the tray for a few seconds. Gently peel them from the foil and transfer to a rack to cool completely before storing in air tight containers.

Note:

• My Oven Wattage is 1000 so the required time is 25 mins. So the baking time differs from oven to oven
• Can use 1 egg as per the original recipe instead of flaxseed powder mixture
