Servings Cookies

1/2 cup Butter unsalted
3/4 cup Jaggery powder
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
1 cup Whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Ragi (Finger Millet Flour)
1/4 cup Oatmeal I have made oatmeal by pulsing Quaker oats in the food processor
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cup Chocolate Chips Semi-Sweet

Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
Meanwhile, mix the butter and the jaggery powder till the jaggery powder is completely blended with the butter. I prefer to mix by hand since I don't use mixer. Whisk or spatula is not helpful in this case, since the butter is not in a completely melted state.
Add in the egg and vanilla essence to this mixture and stir till all the ingredients are uniformly mixed.
The wet ingredients mixture is now ready.
For the dry ingredients, add whole wheat flour, finger millet flour (Ragi), oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the wet ingredients and mix everything together.
Finally add the chocolate chips 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 20-30 minutes.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Take around 1-2 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 16 cookies with the prepared dough.
Once the oven is preheated, bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes (Mine got baked properly in 15 minutes).
Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool for at least 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy the Finger Millet (Ragi) Oatmeal Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies warm just out of the oven or these can be stored in an air-tight container for around 1-2 weeks!!

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)

PS – For eggless version, powdered seeds are preferred. But if not available, you can use whole seeds for soaking!
