Soy-Oats Sugar Cookies

Weekend breakfasts are mostly lazy affairs for which normall I make an omelette or scrambled eggs or have just toast with kothamalli chutney. But when Rajitha inspired us to think about a soy breakfast, I started thinking of what I could make and finally settled on some low sugar cookies. I had these warm cookies on a Sunday morning with a hot cup of chai.

Soy-Oats Sugar Cookies



What I Used:

Makes 8-10 cookies

Soy flour - 1 cup
Maida - 1/3 cup
Oats - 1/4 cup
Butter at room temperature - 3/4 cup
Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup (this makes the cookies mildly sweet, so you can adjust according to your taste)
Cinnamon powder - one pinch (optional)
Salt - one pinch

How I Made It:

1. Sift the maida and soy flour with salt until its totally blended.

2. Mix the butter and sugar with cinnamon powderand then add the flour to form a loose dough. Then mix in the oats gently.

3. Roll out gently and cut with a cookie cutter in desired shapes. I don't have cookie cutters so I made small balls of the dough and flattened it on my palm.

4. Lay on a greased tray and bake in a pre-heated oven for 15-18 mins, until the edges are golden brown.

Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee/milk/tea.

This goes as my entry to Rajitha who is hosting WBB - Soy Products in January.

I have to find a recipe that masks the soy too :) ..
So you take all the pics in the daytime? It is such a big luxury for me... I mostly cook in the night, even during weekends.... I hate those light spots in the pics taken with a flash, I better learn the diffusion process and all those techniques soon... :)

Bharathy said...

Yes, Sig's night shots are awesome!

I have never "risked" with night shots, so far!..:)

It does look good. And with soya that have to be a bonus.
I have never made anything with soya flour.
Sometimes i use soy milk, not for cooking just for my daughter.
