Ingredients

1 Cup Whole Wheat FlourI used Pillsburry Flour
1/2cup butter
1/2cup Powdered SugarI used Demerara Sugar. You can use white sugar or coconut sugar too
1.5tablespoons milkat room temperature
2tablespoons vanilla essence
2tablespoon Cocoa Powder
1/4teaspoon baking powder
1/4teaspoon baking soda
1leave small pinch of Saltif your butter is already salted then don’t add salt. Or else add salt along with flour while sifting

Instructions

Take 1/2 cup of Sugar and powder it in a mixie
Microwave Butter for 15 seconds. Don’t let it melt completely. If you don’t have Microwave then keep the butter in saucepan and place it in heat until it just becomes soft & in the verge of melting.
Now cream this butter and powdered sugar for atleast 5 minutes. This step is really important.
I used a wire whisk. You can also cream using Electric Hand Mixer. Keep the mixture aside
In a bowl sift together Whole Wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda
Add this flour mixture to the Butter+Sugar mixture and gently bring it all together
Add vanilla essence and milk and form a cookie dough. If you feel the dough is too dry you can add extra milk. I used around 1.5 tablespoons of milk.
Cover the dough with a paper towl or a cloth and refrigerate it for 20 minutes
Preheat the oven at 180c
Take small balls of dough and slightly flatten them
Arrange these discs on a baking tray
Bake them for atleast 15 minutes
Also the baking time might vary depending on the type of oven you use. So kindly keep an eye on them so that the cookies don’t get burnt
Take one cookie out after 15 minutes and check the texture. If you think it is still chewy then bake it for 3-4 mins extra. If it is slightly crunchy then it is done
Cookies tend to become crunchier once they are completely cooled down
So manage the baking time accordingly
Perfect treat for even adults to eat with Tea or Milk or for the post lunch sweet cravings
