" Whole wheat, oats and chocolate chips cookies "

Now a days I’m looking for all healthy recipes, but you know who hampers my spirits of eating healthy. Wait a minute I’m not going to pull his legs again :). Also want to tell that this recipe might not work for those who like the smooth texture of all purpose flour because it is a bit flaky and coarse. This thing comprise of whole wheat flour, oats and powdered brown sugar. I got a big packet of powdered brown sugar which is organic too. I’ve minimally adapted my recipe from this beautiful blog of Deeba Rajpal of Passionateaboutbaking. She has an amazing collection of recipes as well as photographs. Now a days we are getting into the habit of eating local, natural and avoiding junk food (pssst ! I ate pizza in Dehradun this time ). Fine! I guess I can cheat at least once in a month, ok may be in 15 days. I’m a big foodie and I can’t resist good food especially when it comes to Biryaani :P. Yes, I ate Biryaani too ;) (ok I can’t blame him every time, some time I do love to eat all junk and oily, spicy food). All right enough kidding. Back to healthy cooking ….oops baking!
