My father is a health freak and he always tries to find healthy alternatives to everything. Recently he has started having millet cookies instead of regular cookies.
He is totally against all-purpose flour “MAIDA” because it has numerous disadvantages like it has no nutritional value, elevating blood sugar levels, taking more time to digest, etc. So I made him millet cookies!
If you have any health freak in your family then you should make these cookies for them.
How to make jowar jaggery cookies
Add jaggery powder and ghee, combine them well.
Add in jowar flour, sattu flour, crushed fennel seeds, chopped raisins, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix it well and then add 6 to 8 tablespoons of milk to bind it into a dough.
Mix and knead it into a dough. Cover the dough with a cling wrap and refrigerate it for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 2 halves, dust little flour on your work surface, and roll the jowar cookie dough until it’s around 1/4 inch thick. sprinkle black sesame seeds over the rolled cookie dough and roll it once gently so that it sticks to it.
Note- Instead of black sesame seeds, you can use flax seeds.
Cut the rolled cookie dough with the help of a round cookie cutter and place each cookie over the baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake it in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges. Once baked transfer it over the wire rack after 5 minutes and store it in an airtight container.
