Little millet cookies with organic jaggery ( eggless)




Some thing quick and healthy for kids when they come home from school. They have come out well, crunchy and chewy at the same time.

Prep time : 10 min
Cooking time : 12 - 15 min for each batch

Ingredients :

Little Millet flour : 1/2 cup
Whole wheat flour : 1/2 cup
Little millet whole and roasted - 2 spoons
Organic jaggery : 1/2 cup ( grated )
Cold Butter : 1/2 cup (cut in to cubes)
Baking powder : 1/2 tsp
Baking soda : a pinch
Milk : 1 tsp

Method :

Mix all the ingredients slowly with hands. Add very little milk, may be a teaspoon only if necessary. Make it in to roti dough consistency. Make small balls of the size of a lemon and gently press it in your palm to flatten it. Place them on a baking tray giving 2 cms gap between two adjacent cookies. Pre heat oven to 180 ° C. Bake the cookies for about 12 to 15 min till the edges turn to brown. Take them out and place on a grill rack to cool down. 
 Variations : You can use any other millet and add nuts or/and chocochips too. Mine gave a bit of Horlicks flavour which the kids enjoyed wondering and asking each other "how it is so?", "is it really so?:)"
