Rate the Recipe:
Crisp on the outside. Soft and chewy on the inside. The Eggless Millet Cookies are the perfect sweet treat for a health-conscious family. No egg, no maida, no white sugar. A healthier alternative to conventional cookies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup millet flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 75 gms butter
- 1/2 cup jaggery powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 tbsp chilled milk
Instructions
- Sift together millet flour, whole wheat flour, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Add in chilled butter cut into small pieces. Rub in the butter to get a breadcrumb texture.
- Next, add in the powdered jaggery and mix well.
- Add in vanilla essence and a little chilled milk, just enough to knead the dough. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least half an hour. Or in the freezer for 5 minutes if you are in a rush.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven at 180°C.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll them into balls. Press down a bit. Grease the baking tray or line it with parchment paper. Place the cookie dough at least an inch apart. Press down with a fork.
- Bake at 180°C or 350°F for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. The baking time varies based on the oven.
- Once done, move them to a rack until they are completely cooled down and crisp. The Eggless Millet Cookies are ready to enjoy.

Notes
- I have used pearl millet (bajra) for this recipe. You can use the millet flour of your choice.
- You can use powdered sugar instead of jaggery. Adjust the sweetness as per your taste.

Nice twist to the regular biscuits Madhu Ma’am… I want to try them cuz they look yummy but I don’t have an oven… no space in my kitchen so I gave it away😫.
Your description ‘crisp on the outside n soft n chewy on the inside’… it’s too tempting 😋

Millets are called superfoods. Hence cookies made of millets are indeed supercookies and the fact that you have used jaggery powder instead of sugar makes it all more super.

Thank you so much 😊

What a healthy treat. I have a dislike for packed stuff, and find them too hard to digest. The millet, no sugar, no eggs makes these cookies a nutritious delicacy. I would like to make them for sure, and will try a small batch first.

Not too sold on this recipe as I haven’t tried millet before and going eggless isn’t my thing. I still enjoy my egg-based goodies. I’m pretty sure this would be much appreciated by others who need this for dietary purposes.
