Raagi Cookies

Raagi Cookies

Ingredients:

¾ cup desiccated coconut / dried coconut
¾ cup ragi flour / 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 unsalted butter
150 grams caster sugar
1 tbsp. Coarse sugar
1 to 2 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 small egg

Instructions:

Beat the butter and sugar till fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat till well incorporated.
Add coconut, ragi 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.
You can make ragi cookies in batches till you use up the entire dough.
