Can cookies be healthy? they can be made so, with a little bit of thought. Chock-full of raisins and nuts, the whole wheat, raisin and walnut cookies are a concentrated source of calcium, iron and fibre. These healthful cookies are a great accompaniment for a hot cup of tea or coffee; however children might need a bit of a push to eat these cookies as the recipe uses less butter and sugar to make the cookies healthier and less fattening. The way out is to prod them to dunk a cookie in a cup of hot milk, which makes the whole experience wonderful for kids too!

My cookies seemed to be a little hard after baking even though I followed the recipe exactly as it was. What can I do about it?

   Hi Neha, This is a tried recipe. There may be a few reasons why your cookies may have turned hard like 1. the oven may not have been pre-heated well 2. You might have over baked them, bake them on the middle shelf. 3. Make sure the thickness is as mentioned of the cookies. Do try it again and let us know your feedback.
