Ingredients

Note* : If you don’t have readymade millet flour, dry roast any millet you have till golden brown then powder and use it. You can replace palm sugar with jaggery / demerara sugar

    Instructions

    • In a mixer add palm sugar and powder it finely.
    • In a mixing bowl add butter and powdered sugar.
    • Whisk it well then add vanilla essence and set aside.
    • In another bowl add millet flour and wheat flour and whisk it well.
    • Now beat sugar butter mixture after adding vanilla essence, then add the flour. Mix well with your hands to form a mixture.
    • Then add little water / milk to form a dough, I used water…it may require very little water say 1 to 2 teaspoon that's all.
    • Now spoon the mixture using measuring spoon, I used 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon to do this.
    • Make a ball and flatten it slightly. Flatten it to 1/4 inch thickness or slightly thinner.
    • Line butter paper / silver foil on the baking tray and arrange the cookies.
    • Bake the cookies at 180 deg C for 12-15mins or until the edges turn golden brown.
    • Cool on wire rack then store in airtight container.
    • Serve Millet Cookies warm with a glass of milk or as a tea time snack.

    Notes

    • If the dough doesn’t hold together then sprinkle an extra teaspoon of water/milk.
    • I use measuring spoon for spooning the batter to get cookies of even size.
    • The cookies seem to be soft when take out of the oven, but don’t be tempted to overbake. After cooling down it will become crispy.
    • If you don’t have palm sugar replace it with demerara sugar / jaggery. But I always prefer adding jaggery syrup to avoid the impurities.
    • The timing depends on the cookie size and thickness. If you are making a slighter thicker cookie then it might take at least 20mins to get baked fully, so adjust the timing accordingly.
    • I made slightly thin so it took me only 15mins. 
    • This is very mild in sweet as I wanted it for teatime snack, if you prefer sweeter cookies then add a tablespoon of extra palm sugar.
    • You can replace vanilla essence with cardamom powder too.
    • You can try with any millet flour like ragi / kodo millet etc.
