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 ½ Cup Jaggery ; if you like it a little less sweet- try ¼ cup of jaggery.
Baking time is for small sized flat cookies.

These are soft cookies. If you want the cookies to be crisp, reduce the temperature to 160C or 365 F and increase the time to 15 minutes.
