Here is a delicious and healthy recipe for cookies and kids love it too!
Ingredients:
1 cup ragi flour (also known as madua/ nachni/ finger millet). High in calcium.
1 cup jowar or oats flour
1 cup whole whear flour
1.5-2 cups of shakkar (yellow powder of jaggery)
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
Handful of dried raisins or cranberries
1 cup coarsely ground almonds/ cashews/ hazelnuts/ walnuts (any nuts)
Water as required
2 tbsp olive oil
Method:
Mix together all the dry ingredients.
Add oil and water as required to make into a tight ball of dough.
Make samll balls like for a chapati and pat flat into cookies or use a cookie cutter for interesting shapes.
Bake on 180C for 5 mins than on 150C for 15. Check to see if done and adjust temperature accordingly. Turn if browning required on other side. (Depends on the oven.)
Check if cookies are ready by inserting a wooden pin. If it does not go in, they are ready. Do not overbake as they become extremely hard after cooling! Happened to me :(
Coconut Multi-grain Cookies
Oil Free Variation - Instead of water and olive oil, add homemade cocounut milk which is made by blending freshly grated cocounut with some water. For this recipe, half coconut should be enough.
