Ingredients
  • Ragi / Finger Millet Flour - 1 Cup
  • Unsalted Butter - 4 Tbsp
  • Brown Sugar - 1/2 Cup
  • Cocoa powder - 1 Tbsp
  • Regular Milk - 1 to 1.5 Tbsp must needed for the dough to turn soft
  • Thick Curd or Yogurt - 2 Tbsp
  • Cinnamon Powder - 3/4 tsp
  • Baking Powder - 1 tsp
  • Salt - 1/4 tsp
  • White Chocolate chips - Few to decorate
Instructions
  1. Heat an empty sauce pan when it is hot do add room temperature butter and remove from flame.
  2. Don't cook the butter, just they will melt in pan heat.
  3. To that add all the dry ingredients like millet flour, sugar ( I use organic palm sugar), cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, baking powder and salt.
  4. Mix all together until they look crumble (as shown in video).
  5. Now gradually add whole milk and wet the cookie mixture well.
  6. You have to knead well since this flour absorbs more liquid.
  7. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes after 10 minutes it looks little dry.
  8. Now add the thick yogurt in batches (so you may not need all the quantity mentioned above).
  9. When the cookie dough turns shiny , smooth and crack free.
  10. Do roll with the pin and make desired shapes of even thickness.
  11. Decorate the cut cookies with white chocolate chips.
  12. Now in preheated oven do bake at 375 F for 12 to 15 minutes.
  13. Unlike other cookies this you can't eye ball if it's done, so after 12 minutes do check it by removing the tray out from the oven.
Recipe Notes
  1. You can reduce 5 tbsp to 4 tbsp of butter in that case increase yogurt.
  2. Yogurt has to be very thick.
  3. Since the ragi flour has the tendency to break up and dry soon you need milk to make it soft with the proper resting time.
  4. Knead well after adding the milk.
  5. Make sure you evenly roll the dough and each cut out cookies of same thickness otherwise while baking you get few burnt and few uncooked because of uneven size.
  6. You can replace few tablespoon ragi flour with almond flour for rich taste.
  7. Instead of cocoa powder melted chocolate works also you can increase the quantity little bit.
