Gluten Free Eggless Choco Millet / Ragi Cookies Recipe - No Maida

Ingredients - Gluten Free + No Leavening Agents

  • 240 gms Ragi flour / Nachni flour / Finger millet flour
  • 170 gms Rice flour
  • 400 gms Unsalted butter, softened at room temp
  • 170 gms Icing sugar / Powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence

Method / Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 160°C for 10 mins. Line baking tray with butter paper.
  2. Cream: In bowl, beat soft butter + icing sugar with electric beater till light + creamy, 2-3 mins.
  3. Add flavor: Add vanilla essence. Beat 30 secs more.
  4. Dry mix: Sieve ragi flour, rice flour, cocoa powder together. This removes lumps.
  5. Dough: Add dry mix to butter mix. Mix till soft dough forms. No baking powder/soda needed - butter gives texture.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate dough 20 mins. Makes shaping easier + cookies hold shape better.
  7. Shape: Divide into equal portions. Roll into balls, then gently pat to make 1/2-inch-thick cookies.
  8. Bake: Place on tray 1 inch apart. Bake at 160°C for 20 mins. Cookies will feel soft when hot.
  9. Cool: Cool completely on wire rack 30 mins. They firm up as they cool.
  10. Store: Store in airtight container up to 1 week. Stays soft + chocolatey.

Tips: 

1. Sieve ragi + rice flour - they tend to have lumps. 

2. No maida/baking soda = cookies won't spread much. Keep 1 inch gap. 

3. 400g butter seems high but it's needed since no eggs/leavening. Gives soft texture. 

4. For kids: reduce cocoa to 1.5 tbsp if too chocolatey. 

5. Ragi is high in calcium + iron - great for growing kids.

Note: This recipe is 100% gluten free - no maida/all-purpose flour. Perfect for celiac, wheat allergy. Ensure your cocoa + vanilla are certified gluten free too.
