Cookie with a red mole (Eggless)

Cookies,cakes,sweets just make my day .I am chasing them always not in shops but in my imaginations and then in my wonder kitchen by baking it by myself. It is so fun and more tasteful as always when all hard work behind pays off at the end.Though it's quite easy to make and bake.

Since I don't have kids yet, whenever I bake cookies I distribute them among my friends kids . They are my cuuuute guinea p*** then :D and they don't mind it at all,in fact lovvve it .I love watching them devouring and crunching happily .Moreover, I am just practicing and preparing myself to learn different types of cookies as many as I can ,so that when I'll have my own kids ,I can pamper their sweet tooth once in a while fresh from my wonder kitchen .O God I can't wait !

Usually a basic cookie recipe and creativity are all needed to make varieties of cookies I believe .So,here is one such ,which is light,Egg less and jammy .Perfect for tea time .For me anytime :) and I call them  easy breezy "Cookie with a red mole " . Kids go gaga over them :) By the way did you know that if you eat these cookies non-stop you may end up with red moles on your face .Well,how weird is that ! 8-) hehe just kidding...yeah you got it ,that's how I emotionally blackmail those kiddos from munching non stop obviously :) and it works like a charm hehe.And that is how the cookie got the name :).
