Chocolate Chips Oat Cookies (No egg)

This is my first ever attempt to cookie-making and I am so happy that I succeded. With a hint of golden brown, cardamom flavoured these super crunchy cookies are so perfect to complement my tea time.




AND. . . I baked them in my pressure cooker!!! 

All you need to make 20  chocolate chips oat cookies are:

  • All purpose flour, 1/2 cup
  • Plain oats, 1/2 cup
  • Wheat flour, 1 cup
  • Unsalted Butter, 1 stick (100 gm or 1/2 cup)
  • Salt, 1 tsp
  • Baking powder, 1/2 tsp
  • Granulated sugar, 1/2 cup ( If you do not have granulated sugar use powdered sugar)
  • Brown sugar, 5 tbsp
  • Chocolate hips, 1 handfull
  • Cinnamon powder, 2 tsp
Notes:

*I dint have vanilla @my end that time so used cinnamon powder, you may use vanilla essence 
(1 tsp) instead or use the both.
*You can replace wheat flour with all purpose flour.

Method:

Making the cookie dough:




  1.  Seive flour, cinnamon powder, salt, baking powder in a bowl , mix oats and keep aside.
  2.  In a bowl beat butter with an electric grinder until becomes frothy, Now add granulated sugar  and brown sugar. Mix everything with a spatula first and then beat with the electric grinder otherwise dry flour will spread everywhere even leaving your face covered with white dusty flour . Beat for 3-4 minutes. While you beat the mixture keep the grinder intact to the ingredients.
  3. The mixture will become crumbled, so now mix everything with your hand giving them a dough consistency. It will take upto 6-8 minutes.
  4. Make small balls out of dough and slightly flatten the top of the cookies using you palm or back of a spoon, do not make large balls as cookie dough tends to inflate when heated.

The mixture crumbled before making the dough



Baking in pressure cooker:



  1. In a pressure cooker or idli cooker pour 500 gm , any low quality salt and preheat with the cooker lid on top for 15 minutes, do not lock the lid. Place a stand as shown in th picture inside the cooker.

  2. Grease a baking tray with cooking oil (I used my daily used steel pan, in which I make rice and I dint face any problem) and place a baking paper, parchment paper to be precise and place the cookie balls inside keeping a 2" gap between the cookie balls.
  3. Place the baking tray on the stand inside cooker and cover with the cooker lid. Do not lock the lid. Just keep it covered.
  4. Bake until you see golden edges appearing on the sides of the cookies. This may take upto 15-20 minutes.
  5. Keep the flame medium-low.
  6. After you get them out you will find them gooey, but it's ok. Allow them to cool down and they will become crunchy.
Your cookies are now ready to enjoy.
