Have to share something very uncanny that happened with this recipe. I had made these twice already and since we loved them I thought of sharing the recipe with you all. So I searched my phone and my diary but I couldn't find the recipe that I had created. Now if I had made these only once I would have accepted that may be I forgot to jot down the ingredients as I often do. But I had made it twice and both the times I got similar taste.
There was no explanation for that. So I made these again, based on the general principle that I use in creating cookie recipes. Voila!! I got exactly the same results.
So sharing the recipe of these crunchy, mildly sweet, healthy cookies.
Please remember , baking time defers from oven to oven. Also it will vary according to the thickness of your cookies.
If you find the cookies are not crisp on cooling, bake them again for a couple of minutes.
