Ingredients

• 1 cup ragi (finger millet) flour

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ cup jaggery powder or coconut sugar

• ⅓ cup olive oil or melted ghee

• 2–3 tablespoons milk (as needed)

• ½ teaspoon vanilla essence

• ¼ cup dark chocolate chips

Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the dry mix

• In a mixing bowl, combine ragi flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.

• Whisk well so everything blends evenly.

Step 2: Prepare the wet mix

• In another bowl, whisk together jaggery powder and olive oil (or ghee) until smooth.

• Add vanilla essence and mix again.

Step 3: Make the dough

• Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

• Add milk little by little until you get a soft dough consistency.

• Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Step 4: Shape the cookies

• Preheat the oven to 170 °C (340 °F).

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

• Scoop small portions of dough, roll into balls, and flatten them slightly on the tray.

Step 5: Bake

• Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges turn slightly crisp.

• Let the cookies cool on a wire rack; they will firm up more as they cool.

Tips

• Use jaggery or coconut sugar to keep them naturally sweet.

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt.

• Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
