Serves: 15 nos
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 17 Minutes
Total time: 27 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup – 200ml

  • Wheat flour – 3/4 cup
  • Quick cooking oats – 3/4 cup
  • Brown sugar or Demerara sugar – 1/2 cup (+ 2 tbsp, optional)
  • Odorless Cooking oil or unsalted butter – 1/3 cup  ( Use 60gms of butter at room temperature)
  • Boiled & cooled milk – 2 tbsp  ( Vegans use almond milk)
  • Baking soda – 1/2 tsp
  • Vanilla essence – 1 tsp ( completely optional)
METHOD

  • In a mixie jar, take the oats and demerara sugar.Grind to a smooth powder. If using brown sugar, grind oats alone. I used 2 tbsp more demerara sugar.  If using brown sugar or white sugar, use 1/2 cup only.

  • Take the ground oats+sugar, wheat flour and baking soda in a wide bowl. Mix well. Make a dent in the center and add 1/4 cup of cooking oil. ( If  using butter,  mix the unsalted butter at room temperature). Mix well and try to make a crumbly dough. Add milk and make a smooth dough.

  • If you feel the dough is too dry and not becoming a whole mass, add some more oil ( may be 1-2 tbsp) and make it thick, non-sticky and smooth.No problem if there are mild cracks in the dough. Suppose If you have added more milk or oil and dough is too wet and sticky, add some wheat flour and bring it to right consistency. Hence adjust the quantity of oil based on the wheat flour and ground oats texture. Never add milk more than 2 tbsp because it makes the cookie sticky, will crack & takes long time to cook as well. So be careful while making the dough.
  • After you make the dough, keep it inside the polythene cover or foil and refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes. By doing this way, dough will stiffen and becomes easy to roll and handle.

  • Take a portion of dough and roll it tight to 1/4 inch thickness. Make shapes using a mould or the lid of a bottle. Grease a baking tray or line it with butter paper. Its better to line the tray with butter paper so that it will be easy to remove the cookies from the tray after baking.

  • Arrange the cookies on the tray leaving enough space because these cookies will flatten & expand while baking. Preheat the oven at 180 c and bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes in convection mode. Mine got done in 17 minutes.Cookies will turn golden brown in color. Initially the cookies would be soft to touch immediately after baking but it hardens and becomes crispy as it cools down. Cookies will easily come off  from the tray.So remove the tray from the oven and keep it outside for 15 minutes or till it cools down. Serve it with coffee or tea. Store in an air tight box immediately after the cookies cool down. It will become soggy if kept in air for long time. Enjoy with tea/coffee !

    Hey Chitra! This is so good. One cannot do without cookies! We need to have it as snacks every now and then. But buying those digestive cookies really gets expensive. This will be so useful. Home made is always the best and most reliable. :)Also, the satisfaction that comes with cooking for your family is unlike anything else. :')
