Delicious Eggless Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies … you are going to love them!

Wholegrain Eggless Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies …. cookies as simple as they are addictive! There was a time I always had a jar of home made cookies on the shelf, baking them once a week at least, sometimes twice. Cookies gave way to desserts and other bakes, yet cookies remain one of my favourite things to bake. They are fuss free, use staple ingredients, allow easy substitution and scream comfort!

For me, it sometimes defies logic that someone should buy a packet of chocolate chip cookies when they can be made so easily with everyday ingredients and taste a million times better! Take a look at the list of ingredients on a packet of store bought ones and chances are you’ll begin baking these at home for good! Staple everyday ingredients, easy process, quick to bake and packed with the goodness of walnuts, I love everything about these Wholegrain Eggless Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies. I also absolutely love using nuts in baking and desserts as you can see!

NOTHING can beat the taste of freshly baked homemade cookies! These Wholegrain Eggless Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are a fine example. Since they’re egg free, the tasting and nibbles begin at the cookie dough stage. Beware, even the dough tastes really nice! I constantly play around with ingredients and quantities, as I did this time as well. The results were very rewarding and these Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies turned out quite addictive. Fresh out of the oven, it was honestly difficult to stop at one!

If possible, grab a good quality muscovado sugar to make these. I used only muscovado sugar this time around and absolutely loved the deep earthy notes the sugar lent to each bite. I did throw in a spoon of chia seeds too since they were staring at me sitting on the counter. Ingredients do that to me often, talk to me while sitting on my counter, imploring me to experiment with them! Does that happen to you too? I’m glad I threw the chia seeds in coz they worked well in here.

If you’re looking for more cookie recipes, there are plenty on the blog, with eggs and without. There is also a cookie chapter in my cookbook and I love it because it has pretty interesting cookies – Nutella stuffed cookies, eggless biscotti, eggless chocolate raspberry madeleines, eggless chocolate sables, malt cookies, cookies for one, a microwave cookie etc. In addition, it’s packed with loads of chocolate based recipes that look good and are delicious too!

10 decadent desserts for World Chocolate Day … Have a sweet one ♥

Happy World Chocolate Day… as the saying goes

As long as there is chocolate, there will be happiness.” Wayne Gerard Trotman

There are days and there are days, and then there’s a special day for CHOCOLATE! We never had days so deliciously marked when we were young, though chocolate was an inherent part of holidays, festivities, birthdays, actually most celebrations. That charm of chocolate was second to none. It made everyone happy!

From the almost emaciated looking Cadbury bars and 5 Star bars we bought locally in India in the 1970’s to the grand kilo slabs of Cadbury Dairy Milk and Maltesers from the UK, Hersheys bars from the States and then the triangular Swiss Toblerone, there was always much to look forward to when visitors from overseas arrived. I can never forget the Cadbury’s vintage red netted chocolate filled Christmas stockings that my aunt would religiously bring for us from the UK, the gold foil covered chocolate coins she would slip in secretly! That was what chocolate dreams were made of!

True to the words by Mariska Hargitay“Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it: deliciousness in the moment, childhood memories, and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.” 

As I began blogging, chocolate was an integral part of my pantry. Chocolate paired with everything! No trip the the US was complete without big bags of Ghirardelli or Nestle Toll House chocolate chips and tins of cocoa powder. My first stop was always the chocolate aisle in grocery stores, filling the cart like chocolate was going to get extinct. That glee when we flew back home and reached out for the loot! Chocolate always brought joy!

And then when Penguin Random House India invited me to write a cookbook, how could it be anything else. It was always going to be CHOCOLATE! I loved everything about bringing it to life – writing the recipes, the thoughts that inspired each, styling the frames, then shooting them! It was a wholly consuming affair but so worth it at the end of the day. My daughter designed the entire layout of my cookbook and I loved how good it looked in print. The cherry on the cake, a foreword by Marryam Reshii, an absolute honour for me!

The idea of a chocolate book is credited to my sweet friend Bina who blogs at A Bit Wholesomely, one she pitched while we were driving around Hyderabad several years ago. I am grateful to Penguin Random House India for believing I could do it, for my family and friends who rallied around me. You can buy a copy here on Amazon. It’s available worldwide now on Amazon and in bookstores too.

These are all memories of a lifetime and when I think of chocolate, I have so many around it, and I bet you do too. I love working with chocolate, I love creating desserts with chocolate, I love styling around chocolate and nothing can stop me shooting it!

PANNA COTTA

So Happy World Chocolate Day to you. Have a delicious one. I leave you with a round up of a few chocolate recipes and you can find a load more HERE! I hope this inspires you to head to the kitchen and stir up some deliciousness!

Eggless Blue Matcha Chocolate Cavity Cake
I’ve always loved blue as a colour and it’s endlessly fascinating to see the shades of blue that the butterfly pea flower reflects in the blue matcha tea. It seemed right to try a cavity cake with a blue matcha filling, and oh my, we couldn’t stop eating it. There’s something so calming and ethereal about blue in patisserie, and this cavity cake for 2 seems a perfect place for it.

Ombre Coffee Chocolate Panna Cotta…with a deep coffee sauce
Ombre Coffee Chocolate Panna Cotta brings together two things I love the most – panna cotta and desserts in ombre. Loved the way it slid out, one shade slowly following another, the perfect jiggle, charming hues. Made a quick coffee sauce too though the panna cotta is really good on it's own as well. Creamy, deep flavours, satisfying.
