Walnut Brownie Cookies

Walnut Brownie Cookies

When your tongue longs for some sweets, this Walnut Brownie cookies is the healthy option. These are gluten free cookies. I wanted to post this on 14th November, children’s day as dedication to children. But for some reason, couldn’t do so. Anyways, better late than never.

Cookies are favourite with any age. They go well with evening tea. However, most cookies in the market use processed flour. If you are gluten intolerant like me, you not be able to eat them. In the West, there are gluten free cookies available off the shelf. However, you find them rarely in India. But the silver lining is you can bake them at home with ease.

I have already posted a recipe for Gluten free flour mix for baking cookies and cakes. This flour mix using millet flour and some starches, works well for any kind of cookies.

This is perfect for evening tea and for kids’ snack box.

Welcome to my blog

 

February 10th is celebrated as World Pulses Day. I am an avid fan of whole pulses / lentils. When I took a review of my posts so far, I realised I have as of today posted 22 recipes using whole pulses & legumes. I decided to compile all those recipes and make an eBook that you can download from my site.
