Author Notes
I am not a cookie lover, but I get cravings. And always at the busiest, oddest and most inappropriate of times. So there is nothing left to do but to make a quick batch that will satisfy the palate without completely tipping the calorie balance. I am also not a fan of bleached ultra-processed white flour. So I use Atta (Indian whole wheat flour) for all my baking! A dash of butter and it all makes it better. The texture is definitely different from a ‘regular’ cookie, but there is nothing these little munchkins don’t satisfy. And I have most definitely eaten the entire tray fresh out of the oven once! —Shuchi

Notes :
1. For an eggless/vegan version, substitute a) 1 egg with 1 medium banana, mashed, added the same time the recipe calls for egg b) 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup vegan butter (such as earth balance) or 1/4 cup vegan butter and 1/4 cup light olive oil. Other steps remain exactly the same.

2. You can also experiment with ingredients of choice, like chocolate (add 1/3 cup cocoa powder to the flour mixture and increase sugar by 2 tablespoons). The possibilities are endless!
