1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation: How to make ragi cookies recipe at home

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it and set it aside.

2. Preparing the Dry Ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, sift together the ragi flour, whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour), baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

Mix well and set aside.

3. Creaming Butter and Sugar:

In another mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered jaggery (or brown sugar) until it becomes light and fluffy.

4. Incorporating Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the creamed butter and sugar.

Mix until everything is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk to bring the dough together.

5. Adding Flavor (Optional):

If using chopped nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the dough to add extra flavor and texture.

6. Forming Cookies:

Take small portions of the dough and shape them into small balls.

Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

7. Baking:

Flatten each cookie ball slightly with your fingers or a fork.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the ragi cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.

8. Cooling and Storing:

Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, store the ragi cookies in an airtight container.
