White Chocolate Chunk Oats Cookies#BakingBloggers

These are bakery style White Chocolate Chunk Cookies with golden brown edges with gooey centers.

They are so delicious perfect cookies to go with your tea or coffee. I have made big ones weight is 45 grams each. But they are so crisp and bake in just 12 to 14 minutes.

Makes 14 Big Cookies 
Ingredients

75 Grams Softened Butter
38 Grams Vegetable Shortening
140 Grams Caster Sugar
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
175 Grams All Purpose Flour
¼ Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Baking soda
½ Teaspoon Baking powder
46 Grams Oats - make it into a powder
100 Grams White chocolate chips

Method  
Beat butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy, then add in the egg and vanilla essence, sieve the dry ingredients, with a spatula mix it till no dry spot of flour is seen. Cling wrap the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours I weighed each cookie 45 grams. Make round balls and placed them in a lined baking tray and again refrigerate the tray till the oven is pre heated.
In the meantime pre-heated oven to 170°C . Place one tray at a time in the oven and bake 12-15 minutes, half through the baking time, change the sides of the tray. Check if the cookies are done after 12 minutes. Mine were done at 13 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven and place the other tray. Lift each cookies with a spatula and place them on a wire rack, till they cooled completely
When completely cooled, store them airtight container. Enjoy with your tea or coffee. 

My Notes
You can make these all butter, but, I have used vegetable shortening a little so that these retain they shape and do not spread while baking. These retained their shape as your can see. They have perfect top. 
These are so crispy and chewy, you will love them.
Chilling the dough is a must or else you want be able to roll them or shape them.

Eggless Nankhatai#SundayFunday

Vanaspati Ghee is used which is also called clarified butter  with this  the nankhatai's are pure white. This is traditional East Indian cookies that is must for our Christmas sweet's platter and this my mother's recipe. The flavoring I, have used is cardamom powder. 
Also made 4 batches of these Eggless Nankhati's for the cute, unconditionally loving physically challenged children, that I work with, they called them snow cookies, since these are pure white.
Makes 18 to 20 
Ingredients

80 Grams Sugar - powdered
1/4 Teaspoon Cardamom powder
1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg powder
125 Grams All Purpose Flour
100 Grams Vanaspati Ghee - melted and chilled
A pinch of Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking powder
Nuts of choice as required

Method
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Sieve the cardamom, nutmeg, baking powder and flour, keep aside.

In a bowl add ghee, salt and sugar, beat it till light and fluffy and turns whitish. Add sieved flour and mix till it represents bread crumbs. Lightly start mixing with your hands to form a dough.
Make small marble size balls and press them down gently. Place them in the prepared baking tray with about an inch apart and gently press with a piece of nut. 
Bake in pre-heated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown at the bottom.
Cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

My Notes

You can adjust the sugar as per your taste. 
You can flavor them using orange or lemon zest. 
You don’t need any additional liquid to bind it into a dough. Only the ghee binds the dry ingredients. You can also use softened butter, just in case you prefer the butter’s flavor.
