Ragi Cookies With Jaggery | Ragi Biscuit
Try these Ragi Cookies with jaggery, added along are whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and sweetened with jaggery powder & a hint of Nutella. These are perfect healthy Ragi biscuits for babies and everyone else too!!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter unsalted
- 1 cup Jaggery powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup Finger Millet Flour (Ragi)
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/3 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder Unsweetened
- 1 tbsp Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
- Meanwhile, mix the butter and the jaggery powder till you see a smooth blend. I prefer to mix by hand, since I don't use a mixer. Because we are not using completely melted butter, so a whisk or spatula is not helpful in this case.
- Add in the egg to this mixture. Stir till you see a uniform mixture of ingredients.
- Now add vanilla essence to the above mixture. The wet ingredients mixture is now ready.
- For the dry ingredients, add whole wheat flour, finger millet flour (ragi), baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder to the wet mixture.
- Finally add Nutella and give it a good mix with hand. The dough will be a little loose at this stage, so it is advisable to put the dough in the fridge for at least 5-10 minutes.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Take around 2 tbsp of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Then flatten the dough ball and place on the baking tray. I was able to make 13 cookies with the prepared dough.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool for at least 5-10 minutes.
- The whole wheat and ragi chocolate cookies are now ready to be served warm or these can be stored in an air-tight container!!
Notes
- Whole Wheat Flour – Feel free to replace whole wheat flour with the same quantity of all-purpose flour. If the cookie dough feels a little loose, add ~ 1/4th cup more of all-purpose flour.
- Jaggery Powder – If Jaggery Powder is not available, you can replace it with equal amount of refined sugar.
- Egg – To make the recipe eggless, I would advise to replace the egg with either of these two options:
- Chia Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp powdered Chia seeds with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
- Flax Seed Gel (Mix 1 Tbsp powdered Flax seeds with 3 Tbsp water, and let it soak for 5 minutes)
