Honey-Oatmeal Cookies

This cookie is full of healthy ingredients and very easy to make with very less effort on mixing and baking. Once you have gathered all the ingredients, its dough can be prepared within 10 minutes and another 10 minutes for baking. To make them extra tasteful, drop some chocolate sauce over them using a piping bag.

  9. Let the cookies cool on the wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
Notes
  1. Your cookies are cooked if you see them browning from the sides.
  2. When you will take out the cookies from the oven, they will be soft and cushy. Do not cook them more.
  3. Follow these steps after the cookies are cooked:
    1. Take out the baking tray and keep it on the cooling rack. Let the cookies be on the baking tray till the tray is hot.
    2. Once the tray is at room temperature, remove the cookies from the tray and keep them on a separate plate and allow them to cool for another 30-45 minutes.
  4. If your oven tends to get too hot, reduce the time of baking by 1-2 minutes accordingly.
  5. Remember to keep the cookies batter and cookies sheet/baking tray in cold temperature. The cookies dough or batter or balls should always be chilled before getting into the oven.
  6. DO NOT leave the cookies dough or cookies balls at room temperature. If the oven is not ready, shift the cookies dough or balls into the fridge and take them out only when the oven is ready.
