How to make the Best Ragi Chocolate Chip Cookie

These cookies are different from normal high gluten cookies- They need to be treated differently.

Step 1: Combine the flours and baking powder

Step 2: Rub cold cubed butter into it.It will turn into a coarse meal.

Step 3: Add milk little by little and get the dough toghether.Add the chocolate chips etc.

Step 4: Refrigerate your dough.

Step 5: Make small balls, flatten with your finger and bake in a preheated oven till it holds shape.

Tips to make Ragi Chocolate Cookie

First– do refrigerate the cookie dough for at-least 30 minutes in the fridge.

Second– They do not spread as much, but rise quite a bit.So its important to shape the cookies accordingly.Make these cookies small and flat.Do not scoop them using a scooper like a traditional cookie but make small balls and flatten them on the baking sheet.

Flavours of this Ragi Cookie

This recipe can be used as a basic Ragi cookie Recipe.You can add nuts(powdered nuts when giving to babies or toddlers), raisins or some spices- like cinnamon and Fennel.

I also have a Double Chocolate Chip Ragi Cookie on the blog.They are a tad bit more decadent cause of a double dose of chocolate but as healthy as these Ragi Cookies.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Ragi Flour /Finger Millet
• 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour I used multigrain flour
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 cup Chilled Butter cup into cubes
• 1/2 cup Jaggery brown sugar/Coconut Sugar
• 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
• Chilled Milk as required. about 6 tbsp; Add in 1 tbsp increments

Instructions

• Combine the Ragi and Whole wheat flours, baking powder and sugar.
• Add vanilla essence to this mixture.
• Rub & pinch the butter into the flour mixture.Use your fingers and thumb and rub the butter and flour in between your fingers so that the butter and flour starts to clump toghether.
• Continue doing so till the butter is almost incorporated coarsely into the flour.It should look clumpy.
• Add milk and chocolate chips knead(just barely) the butter-flour mixture.Do not over knead but just combine everything together.
• Cover in cling wrap or in a bowl with a lid.Keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
• Take golf ball sized dough into your hands, form a ball, flatten with your palm and place on the baking tray.
• Bake at preheated oven for 12 minutes* at 180 degrees C.

Notes

if the dough isn’t coming together, which can happen because Ragi is gluten free and non sticky, add a little more whole wheat flour and a few drops more of milk so that the dough comes together better.

For a normal amount of sweetness- Add 1/2 Cup Jaggery ; if you like it a little less sweet- try 1/4 cup of jaggery.
Baking time is for small sized flat cookies.
