Oatmeal - Raisin Cookies

Well folks, its a brand new year and this is my first recipe post...I haven't blogged for sometime now..mostly because I was out-of-station. I've been getting lots of calls and emails from friends and relatives saying that they were missing my recipes.. :) I'm happy..I'm excited..Well atleast some of my friends and family follow my blogs..:)

I wanted to start this year's blog with a sweet recipe..and decided to make this wonderful Oatmeal-Raisin cookie from Martha's website. I had bookmarked this recipe long back..and decided to try it out.


I did not make any alterations to the original recipe except that I used quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats and altered the temperature a little bit.

Ingredients: Makes 3 doz
1/2 cup flour,
1/4 tsp salt,
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder,
1/2 tsp baking powder,
1/2 tsp baking soda,
1/2 cup unsalted butter,
1/2 cup brown sugar,
1/4 cup granulated sugar,
1/2 tbsp vanilla essence,
1-1/2 tbsp milk,
1 egg,
1-1/2 cup rolled oats (I've used Quaker quick oats, so I've used a little more than 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 cup raisins,

Method:
1.) Sift the flour, salt, cinnamon powder, baking powder, and baking soda together and set aside.
2.) Line a baking sheet with butter paper. Preheat the oven at 200 degree centigrade for 10 mins.
3.) Cream the butter and both the sugars together. Add the egg and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla essence and beat well.
4.) Slowly add the flour mixture and mix well. Add the raisins and oats and mix well.
5.) Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture leaving enough space for the cookies to expand.
6.) Bake for 10-15 mins or until the sides start to turn brown.
7.) Allow it to cool for 5-8 mins and then remove.

They result was outstanding...Slightly chewy and slightly crusty..I loved the taste..I think it would have tasted even better if I used old-fashioned oats..Too good!!!

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...
