Cornflakes Cookies - Vegetarian

Deepavali is hardly a week away. Although shopping and house cleaning was done, baking cookies is also a must for me. Started of with an easy to prepare cookie. Here is to share the recipe, hope it turns out well for you guys too.

I have posted 5 vegetarian cookies recipes here today. The ingredients have been tremendously mixed and match to my creativity. They all turned out well indeed. 

Baking involves lots of creativity. Therefore please feel free to use any types of fillings, shapes and coloured sprinkles. You can also choose to sprinkle castor sugars or desiccated coconut on the baked cookies while it is still hot. Some of you like coloured cookies, therefore you made add some colours (very little). There is no strict law when it comes to baking; at least that is what my opinion is. One should try to experiment as much as possible with baking.  Happy trying folks.

Ingredients
250g Cornflakes
20g Castor Sugar
5tbs Honey
3tbs Peanut Butter

A handful of chocolate rice for decoration purpose

Rich White Chocolate Cookies - Vegetarian

Hurray, at last I tried a cookie that doesn't require baking!! :)

Simple and easy to do. Absolutely no baking  required at all!! 

Kids would simply love this. I loved it :))

Ingredients

·   600g White Chocolate (Cooking)

·   100g Mixed Fruits

·   100g  Almond Strips

·   10g Dried Blackcurrant

·   Handful of chocolate chips

·   Black cupcakes

Method

1.  Firstly, fill the cupcakes with a few chocolate chips.

2.  After that melt white chocolate in low fire. Do not place on direct fire. Use bain Marie or water bath method.

3.  Once it is dissolved, (with fire still on slow) add almond strips, dried blackcurrant and mixed fruits.

4.  Keep stirring slowly for 1-2 minutes till ingredients are evenly coated.

5.  Then use a teaspoon to scoop mixture into chocolate chip filled cupcakes. (Do not off your stove, keep it in slow fire during this process to avoid hardening of batter)

6.  Leave to dry and store in cool dry space. 

Estimated : 80pcs

Bain Marie method : Place a large wok/cooking basin ½ filled with water. Let it boil. Slow the fire. Break the chocolate into several medium sized pieces. Place them in a smaller non-stick bowl and place it in the water filled wok/basin. Slowly stir the chocolate and let it melt in the basin. Fire should be small at all times. It takes a while to melt because of the non-direct heat and also slow fire. Using this method, it melts chocolates evenly and creamy.

DO  NOT BOIL THE CHOCOLATE!
