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.

Nice recipe. Looks yummy and healthy too. Would love to try the same and will give the feedback of same.
thank you! hope you like it..
what is the temperature for baking? How much of milk is required? should the mixture be crumbly?
Just enough to bring everything toghether..add 1 tbsp at a time..ideally you shouldn’t need more than 2 tbsp..the mixture should be put together enough to make balls.
Thank u. At what degree should the cookies be baked?
I realise I haven’t mentioned it in the post! My mistake..bake it at 180 degree..if you have a small oven then at 170 degree..
