Multigrain walnuts and raisins cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter , at room temperature ( I used salted. If you are using unsalted add 1/4 tsp salt to recipe)
1 tbsp olive oil (You can use any vegetable oil)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup gram flour
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup oats
 1 tbsp raisins
2 tbsp walnuts (chopped)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp coffee powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)




Method


  1. Take butter and add sugar and oil to it and whisk till the mixture becomes creamy.
  2. Now take a bowl and mix the dry ingredients i.e. all kinds of flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder, coffee powder and nuts ( walnuts and raisins). Coffee and cinnamon powder add a distinct flavor to it.
  3. Add this mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients and fold in the ingredients till they mix properly.
  4. Now in a baking tray line a parchment paper and scoop out the cookie mixture in  form of small cookies. You can use moulds of any shape. Though i made them with my palms :)
  5. Make sure there's a gap of approx 1 inch between each cookie. They rise and spread while baking.
  6. Preheat the oven to 170 C and bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes or till they become golden light brown on top. 
  7. Turn the cookies and bake for another 10 minutes. This allows even cooking from both ends.
  8. Serve hot or store in an air tight container when they are cooled.
Tip:

If you want you can use eggs in this recipe. Reduce butter to half the quantity and add 1 small egg. Personally i dont like eggs in my cookies. I feel an eggy flavor though i do add it to cakes and breads and find them good :).
