Ragi Cookies are healthy , gluten free cookies and can be enjoyed by toddlers and adults as well .
Ragi or finger millet or Nachini are all the same . They all speak the word health . The flour is full of calcium and is ideal for weight loss . It has a lot of fibre too .
Cookies with this flour would make a perfect munch for those in between hunger pangs , as they are light and crisp.They are perfect for kids lunch box or with your cup of tea.
I have another version of these cookies that I baked long back , in fact even these cookies were baked a while ago . They were baked for a friend’s grand son and sent to USA . I love to bake cookies but unfortunately none of us eat any kind of biscuits and cookies , so all the cookies are basically for gifts and I am glad my friends love these as gifts.
Check out this simple version of Ragi Cookies which are gluten free and healthy as well .These are my Day 6 post for Bakeathon. This week I juggled my drafts and we have Cookies and Biscuits as the theme.

Just love baking cookies with ragi flour, its been a long i baked cookies with this flour. Those cookies looks just prefect for my sweet tooth. Dangerously tempting.
well, these look scrumptious to me 🙂 you can send me a gift too, Vaishali ! Lol 🙂 I dont bake cookies at all, and this bakeathon has thrown up a cookie and banana bread galore so far !
Cookies are a perfect gifting option! And these looks so nutritious for everyone.
The color of the cookie is such that kids may think it is chocolate… hehe… I have a cookie loving bunch at home but I don’t bake much of cookies, I have to get myself thinking hehe… I am sure whoever received these cookies must have really enjoyed them…
I am so in love with the gluten free cookies you are posting. These ragi cookies look fabulous and what an amazing gift it would make.
I have seen so many bakes with ragi flour, but I haven’t made any. These ragi cookies look just like chocolate cookies – I think I should make these for my kids to see if they find the difference 😉
Healthy and addictive cookies,my kids loved those cookies when I made it.
With so many no so healthy eating during this festivals,this ragi cookie is a must to make me feel less guilty.. so good!!
These cookies look really good. I have not tried to bake much with ragi but I am tempted to try. Ragi flour is available in our local grocery store.
That’s a fantastic option Vaishali, wonderful that ragi flour has held on the shape so well..
I need to try the ragi flour – These look so scrumptious
Ragi is such a nutritious flour and these cookies look adorable and delicious!! The texture of cookies looks so good!!
Your cookies look perfect and those white choco chips’ decoration looks cute.
Another gluten free baking that I should try. Looks too good
ragi cookies look perfect vaishali, i m yet to bake cookies with ragi flour. that rustic color of ragi and choco chips in the center looks very pretty
OMG they really do not look like ragi cookies. Looks like chocolate overloaded cookies. I will try this definitely for my kids and for me too 😀 😀
Healthy and delicious Ragi cookies. The cookies are perfectly baked.I have one full packet of ragi flour. Going to try this now.
Ragi cookies just imitate chocolate cookies so could be easily used to feed kinds this healthy grain. Nice share.
