Vegan Zero Cholestrol Cookies

Saturday, April 26, 2014

How about feeding your kids with some cookies prepared with a natural sweetner,as butterless,eggless,nutty and vegan??,its quite an ideal snacks for me. Recently i tried my hands in making this fabulous zero cholestrol cookies with palm jaggery,peanut butter,chocolate chips with whole wheat flour. Actually i played a game in Facebook by posting the picture of these cookies and a couple for friends played with me to guess the ingredients. After so many guessing finally i revealed that this cookies are prepared with healthy stuffs in it. Also i named this cookies as palm jaggery,peanut butter whole wheat cookies with chocolatechips, sounds a long title na, but Aparna of Home Style Veg Food suggested this name to this cookies hence i named them as this Zero cholestrol cookies. Thanks Aparna, else the title of these cookies would be super long like Sindbad stories.

I used palm jaggery a fantastic natural sweetener for making this cookies, if you dont like or dont want you to use palm jaggery you can still makes these eggless,butterless cookies with sugar or honey. I used chunky peanut butter instead of butter, the addition of peanut butter enhances the flavour in these cookies. If am trying anything new,ill always add chocolate chips just to attract my kids, seriously my kids didnt stopped munching these cookies,they just loved it. I cant imagine a kids potluck party without bakes, and these cookies suits pectly for this weeks blogging marathon as am cooking under the theme Kids delight - Potluck party.Sending to Srivallis Kids Delight - Potluck Party..Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#33. Sending to my event Healthy Diet- Heart Healthy Recipes guest hosted by Sandhya..
