Ragi Chocolate Cookies – made with ragi/ finger millet flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and brown sugar. The addition of ragi flour in the cookies makes them a little healthier than the usual chocolate chip cookies.
I am not a health-conscious person and I don’t show much interest in healthy baking or baking with alternate flours. I believe cakes and cookies taste the best when made with butter, sugar, maida. But, these days I am trying to incorporate millets once in a while in my diet. These cookies are not the healthiest out there. These Ragi Chocolate Cookies still have a good amount of butter, brown sugar in them. But, they are definitely healthier than the cookies made out of refined flour, refined sugar. Perfect for someone who wants to incorporate millet flours and is looking for a delicious recipe to include them.
Ragi is a millet packed with nutrients. This is a good way to incorporate millet flour if you are not a fan of eating them otherwise.
These cookies are buttery, melt in the mouth and have a lovely chocolate flavour. They are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. So, go ahead and try making these cookies and share your comments and feedback with me.
