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.
