I have adopted this recipe from my whole wheat almond cookiesΒ and its perfect for snack box, can be given as a breakfast too with a cup of milk. This ragi cookie can be given to kids from one year.

    Ingredients

    • Ragi Flour/Finger millet flour - Β½ cup
    • Whole Wheat Flour - Β½ cup
    • Baking Powder- ΒΌ tsp
    • Palm sugar/ Brown Sugar - Β½ cup
    • Vanilla Essence - Β½ tsp
    • Butter - Β½ cup or 1 butter stick or 113 gms
    • Boiled Milk - 2 tbsp
    • Salt -a tiny pinch
    • nuts/chocolate chips - as required for garnishing

    Instructions

    • Measure and keep all ingredients ready. Also, preheat the oven to 180 deg C for 10 minutes. Sieve the ragi flour, wheat flour, baking powder and salt together and keep it ready.
    • Then take the butter in a vessel. Let it come to a room temperature. Then add brown sugar to it. If using palm sugar or regular sugar grind it to a fine powder and add here. Mix well until the sugar is completely melted.
    • Add this butter sugar mix along with vanilla essence to the sieved dry ingredients and start to mix the dough with your hands gently until you get the soft dough consistency. Add 1 to 2 tablespoon of milk if required while gathering the dough.
    • Once the soft dough consistency is reached, keep the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 20 mins. In the meantime, line the cookie tray with a cookie sheet/parchment paper. After 20 mins, take the cookie dough from the refrigerator and start making balls and flatten it using your palms.
    • Arrange the cookies, garnish with nuts if desired and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes (baking time depends on the size of the cookies and oven) at 180Β° C till cookies are browned at the bottom. Allow to cool in the tray for 5 minutes and serve the cookies.

    1. Measure and keep all ingredients ready. Also, preheat the oven to 180 deg C Β for 10 minutes. Sieve the ragi flour, wheat flour, baking powder and salt together and keep it ready.
    2. Β Then take the butter in a vessel. Let it come to a room temperature.Β Then add brown sugar to it. If using palm sugar or regular sugar grind it to a fine powder and add here. Mix well until the sugar is completely melted.

    Notes
    Β :

    • I have used homemade ragi flour. If using store-bought ragi flour, dry roast the ragi flour in low flame for 5 minutes before making cookies. This helps to avoid the raw smell of ragi.
    • Adjust with milk while kneading the dough to reach the soft dough consistency.
    • If the dough is too sticky, adjust with 1 tablespoon of wheat flour.
    • The cookies stay well for a weekΒ at room temperatureΒ if stored in an airtight container.
    • Keep an eye on the oven after 13 minutes of baking and check cookies turned brown at the bottom through the cookies may look soft. After cooling down the cookies will turn crunchy.
    • Powder the sugar for making the process easy if using palm sugar or regular brown sugar. I used demerara sugar and hence used it as such.
    • Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cookies.

      Hi,
      Do I need to preheat before every batch of cookies if I am making multiple batches together? Also can I use ghee instead of butter

        Yes you can use ghee instead of butter.
        Pre heating is necessary for baking cookies, simply look at the screen that indicates oven temperature before you proceed,If you have an oven with digital controls. if the preheat temp is reached, you can start baking the next batch

      Hi Kalyani,

      I'm making this cookie now. After keeping it in the oven, I read your receipe again and got to know that I forgot to keep dough in the refrigerator for 20 mins. Can you pls tell what is the purpose of keeping the dough in refrigerator and also is it ok to bake without keeping them in refrigerator.

      Thanks in advance

        Hi, refrigerating cookie dough before baking solidifies the fat in the cookies which results in correct texture and flavor

      Hi Kalyani,

      I tried out this recipe and the cookies came out great. Thank you for sharing!
      I did add oats to them & that tasted good as well.

      I do have a question. You mention above that ghee can be used as an alternative to butter.
      How does using ghee change the final cookie?
      Also how does adding lesser butter, than the suggested amount, change the cookie?

        Hi Sindhu, Thank you for sharing your feedback πŸ™‚ Adding melted ghee or lessening butter change the cookie texture to more crispy and crunchy like biscuits.

      Hi,
      Love your site!
      We get our ragi with rice grinded in the local mill(ratio would be 4:1). So I have this ragi plus rice mix flour. Can I still use this flour to make cookies?
      Thank you.
