Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Ragi Flour finger millet flour, lightly roasted
- 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1 Tbsp Corn Flour
- 1/8 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/8 tsp Baking Soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ragi flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, corn flour, baking powder, and baking soda. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent results.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, creating a tender cookie.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
- Add half of the chironji seeds to the dough and mix gently.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Press the remaining chironji seeds onto the tops of the cookies.
- Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Place the chilled cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the cookies to set properly.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Bake cookies after chilling in the fridge for 20 minutes for a crisp texture.
- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the chironji seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the dough; this enhances their nuttiness and provides a pleasant crunch.
- If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking tray—ragi flour tends to firm up as it cools, so this will help maintain a softer center.
- To create a visually appealing finish, press a few whole chironji seeds on top of each cookie before baking, then dust with a pinch of cinnamon sugar right out of the oven for a subtle sparkle and extra aroma.
Expert Tips
- If your dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or water at a time until it comes together.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Experiment with different add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips.
Storage Instructions
- Store the cookies in an airtight container with a small slice of bread or apple to maintain their moisture and prevent them from becoming overly dry due to the ragi flour base.
