December is one of my favourite months. I am preparing myself to post more cakes and cookies during Christmas time. Recently, I attended a baking session with chef Joe Francis of Gateway International Hotel and he taught me a few cakes and cookie recipes. This is the first one I tried from that list and it came out really well. He also taught me the Chocolate Sponge Cake and Chocolate Walnut Brownie. If you are looking for more cookie recipes, then please try the below cookies:
Ingredients:(Got around 40 cookies)
Oats - 1 and 1/2 Cup
Flour - 3/4 Cup
Butter - 200 gmsBrown Sugar - 1/2 Cup
White Sugar - 1/2 CupEggs - 2Baking Powder - 1/2 tspCinnamon Powder - 1 tspRaisin - 100 gmsSalt - a pinchBroken Walnut - 100 gms
1. Bring all the ingredients to room temperature. In a large wide bowl, cream the butter, sugar and eggs together.
2. In another bowl mix the flour, raisin, oats, cinnamon, walnut and salt. Now mix the dry ingredients with the butter, sugar, egg mixture. Refrigerate it for 30 mins.
3. In a baking tray line the butter paper and place the cookie dough roughly. I used a tablespoon to get the equal-sized cookies. Preheat the oven at 170 deg celsius and bake it for 18 - 20 mins or bake until the cookies turn light brown.

- The cookies will expand while baking. So leave enough space between the cookies. Also, it is not required to flatten the cookies and it flattens while baking by itself.
- The cookies will be very soft as soon as it is out of the oven. But after it cools completely it turns crispy
- The temperature and baking time varies between ovens. So bake until the bottom of the cookies turns light brown.
- The sugar should be completely dissolved before adding the dry ingredients(flour, maida etc), so whisk it accordingly.
- The dough has to be refrigerated before baking.
- You can make the cookies a little big but you have to bake it longer.
