Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • ¾ cup desiccated coconut (or dried coconut)
  • ¾ cup ragi flour (or finger millet flour (can use even ragi puttu podi for the best crust))
  • ½ cup wheat flour ( or plain flour/ maida (if possible use unbleached flour))
  • 150 grams butter (- soft but still cold)
  • 150 grams fine sugar (or roughly powdered)
  • 1 tbsp Coarse sugar (optional)
  • ¾ tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (, small )

Instruction

  • Beat the butter and sugar till fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat till well incorporated.
  • Add coconut, millet flour and plain flour. Mix well. You will end up with a moist dough. Sprinkle the coarse sugar all over evenly and just mix it once.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 C for at least 15 mins.
  • Make balls and flatten them slightly on the baking sheet.
  • Bake these till done. Takes around 10 mins for me. When done the cookies top is dry.
  • You can make ragi cookies in batches till you use up the entire dough.
  • Store ragi cookies in a air tight jar.
