Introduction
Cookies refer to a baked product generally containing three major ingredients flour, sugar and
fat; these are mixed with other minor ingredients to form dough. Due to its appreciated
rheological characteristics, wheat is principally used in bakery products. Wheat flour is the
basic structural component of most batter and dough products. It is able to perform these
textural functions because of gluten content, which allows expansion of air cells and provide
rigidity after baking. However, wheat protein is deficient in some indispensable essential
amino acids and it has lower protein in comparison with oilseeds and pulses (Kulkarni et al.
2013 and Murugkar 2014) [8, 10]. Composite flour technology for wheat supplementation with
protein rich materials like oilseeds and pulses can become an approach to overcome the
malnutrition. The annual growth of bakery industry is about 10% and the demand of bakery
products are increasing among all sections of people. Cookies are having wider consumption
base, relatively long shelf-life, more convenience and good palatability which make it
attractive for protein fortification and other nutritional improvements. Cookies are
predominantly based on refined wheat flour (RWF) and the blending of RWF with oilseeds
and pulses such as soybean, moth bean and chickpea can upgrade the nutritional quality.
Soybean is one of the most important oil and protein crops of the world. Soybeans contain 30
to 45% protein with a good source of all indispensable amino acids. Defatted soy flour (DSF)
is a cheaper, convenient, conventional and richest source of protein for the fast expanding
population worldwide. Soy proteins are unique among plant proteins by virtue of their
relatively high biological value and presence of essential amino acid lysine which is a limiting
amino acid in most of the cereals. (Kulthe et al. 2011; Sreeram et al. 2010) [9, 19].
Mothbean has been identified as one of the potential protein food source. It is rich in protein,
calcium and it can make an excellent supplement to cereal diet as illustrated by Ismail et al.
2003 [5].
Chickpea is also one of the affordable sources of protein, carbohydrates, minerals and
vitamins, dietary fiber, folate. Moreover, it has good antioxidant activity. Scientific studies
provide some evidence to support the potential beneficial effects of Chickpea components in
