Finger millet / Ragi cookies

 Cookies with ragi flour may sound weird , I too didn’t have any idea before making it and after tasted I want more.

Finger millet is called as ragi commonly . It is rich source of calcium and protein. Aids in lowering the blood cholesterol.

  This cookie is simple and easy to make with easily available ingredients .

Requirements :

Ragi flour – 2 cup

Sugar – ½ cup

Vanilla essence – 2 drops

Butter – 2 tbs

Baking powder – 1 tsp

Milk to knead

Method :

Mix sugar and butter well , till it becomes frothy.

Add the ragi flour , vanilla essence and baking powder , mix well.

At this stage , the dough will be like crumble.

Sprinkle little milk and make a soft and firm dough.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

Roll the dough into small balls. These look like chocolate and very flavourful and I want to have it without baking.

Arrange the balls in the baking tray with 1 cm in between.

Press each ball with the fork.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for 20 minutes.

Let it cool on wire rackand store in air tight container.

Finger millet cookies is ready to  serve.
