Oatmeal Ragi & Wheat Flour Cookies

INGREDIENTS :

¾ cup – Whole Wheat Flour
¼ cup – Ragi Flour (Finger Millet Flour)
1 tablespoon – Cocoa Powder
¼ cup – Organic Oats (Raw or Whole)
½ cup – Sugar (Brown or White)
1/3 cup – Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed
2 tablespoon – Milk
¼ cup – Chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon – Vanilla Extract
½ teaspoon – Baking Powder
A Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS : 

In a big mixing bowl, mix wheat flour, ragi flour, oats, sugar, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. (Whisk all dry ingredients well)

Now add cold butter cubes to the above dry mixture. Using fingers mix cold butter with the dry flour to combine and make a sandy texture. Break all the butter cubes to combine well with the flour this will add the flaky crunch to the biscuit 

Mix vanilla extract & chocolate chips to the above sandy buttery flour mixture. Start pouring milk little by little and knead the flour to make a tight dough. Do not add all milk at once; add as required.

Optional step: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 10 mins.

Meanwhile, prepare the baking tray with parchment paper-lined on it. Turn on the oven to pre-heat at about 180C/350F

Knead the dough one final time and start rolling the dough with help of a rolling pin. Roll to the thickness of around ½ centimeter or desired thickness

Once the dough is rolled evenly it is time to cut the biscuit with the help of a cookie cutter (I have used a round cutter, you can use any size and shape). Repeat the above step for the remaining biscuit dough.

Once all the biscuits are done place them on the baking tray with parchment paper keeping enough distance between the biscuits.

Bake these biscuits in the oven at 180C/350F for about 15-20 minutes or till the biscuit starts to change its color.

Turn off the oven and take out the baking tray with biscuits. Let the biscuits sit in the tray for 5 minutes and then gently transfer biscuits on the cooling track. Let them cool down completely. 

Healthy & delicious chocolate chip biscuits are now ready to be served .
