Apricot Orange Cookies

Apricot Orange Cookies made from whole wheat flour are a great snack option! The delicious apricots and some nuts added in ensure that these cookies are healthy and yummy!

These days Ojas is in love with anything which is baked. He is such a fussy eater, but if there is something that has come out of the oven, he eats it :D. Hence I am constantly on the lookout for healthy baking recipes. After I made the Oat Bran Muffins, I tried these apricot orange cookies this time. I had seen this recipe in Tarla Dalal’s Growing Kids cook book (which BTW has great recipes) and made some minor changes to the recipe while making it. There were about 20 medium size cookies which came out and were over in a day πŸ™‚

Apricot Orange Cookies

Isn’t it amazing how kids eat baked goodies as if they are the best in the world? I think it has got to do with the smell of the food being cooked in the oven which makes it so appetizing, or perhaps the whole process of mixing and putting in the oven, which makes them so enticing πŸ™‚ And the good part about baking is that you can mix and match the ingredients easily!

Some little adjustments in the recipe and you can get a healthier version of any dish! Like replacing some of the maida with whole wheat flour or using olive oil instead of butter. I must admit it is a trial and error process, but believe me, once you get the basics right, it is just about trying to get something healthier! Like these whole wheat cookies, I baked after reading up a bit about cookies and then used my own recipe. They turned out to be so delish and such a super hit!

These apricot and orange cookies taste delicious with a cup of coffee or tea! Serve them to kids with a glass of milk and you can be rest assured that they won’t get hungry until dinner time πŸ™‚

Notes

I read about Cakes and Cookies Event at HomeCooked's blog and that inspired me to send this post to the same event. This will be probably one of the first time I am sending a recipe to an event and of course I am nervous πŸ˜‰
