How to make Finger Millet cookies or Ragi Biscuit - Finger Millet aka Ragi Flour is a wonder food in India and a lot other Asian countries but hardly known in the western countries. It is probably the most underrated “cereal” food. So, I decided I should go into a little more detail about what it brings to the table….literally..:-) I agree to be sent email.
High levels of Calcium, Iron, Protein, Fiber, and gluten-free are some of the goodness of Finger Millet and I am sure one of them is sure to make you buy it at your local Whole Foods store. I personally know a lot of family members that have stayed on a Finger Millet diet to lose weight. Finger Millet could be enjoyed in different recipes like Dosa, Upma, Cakes, Halwa, and also Cookies. I am going to be posting all of those recipes this year, but here’s a sweet cookie recipe to start with. Apart from Finger Millet, there is yet another secret ingredient in this recipe. It’s my home-made oats milk. I am sure you have noticed that I have switched to vegan recipes in my blog and I found this great recipe for Oats Milk from a fellow blogger, Mel at her website at A Virtual Vegan. Not only it tastes awesome, but it also made a good substitute for milk in my cookie recipe. Finger Millet Cookie is just the start of a wonderful and healthy journey with Finger Millet.

Step By Step Directions:
Preheat oven 360 F. In a medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla essence. Add this to the dry ingredients and also add oats milk or any other dairy-free milk. Knead well to get an even mixture. Add more oats milk, if needed. Use a cookie scoop to make little dough balls and press down gently to flatten them, and place the cashew in the center. Place them onto a baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart. Bake for 15 -20 minutes, until turns dark brown edges, appear. Remove off the heat and let cool. Ragi Cookies are ready!
