Let’s look at the main ingredients!
Jowar Flour (Sorghum Flour)
Jowar is rich in fiber and supports digestion. In this recipe, it forms the base of the dough and gives these jowar cookies a light, earthy flavour. Any other millet flour will work perfectly too. Ragi and Bajra will give you slightly grainier mouthfeel.
Besan (Chickpea Flour)
Besan adds plant-based protein and a nutty taste. It helps bind the dough and improves the structure of these Millet Biscuits. You can also use corn flour or tapioca flour here.
Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are a good source of omega-3 fats and fiber. When ground, they help add slight binding and improve the texture in this eggless recipe.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda
These help the cookies rise slightly and create a light, crisp texture.
Unsalted Butter (Soft)
Butter adds richness and helps create that classic cookie texture. It also makes the cookies crisp on the outside. You can substitute it with ghee too.
Powdered Jaggery
Jaggery adds a deep caramel-like sweetness and contains minerals like iron. It gives these jaggery cookies their warm flavor and natural sweetness. You can use powdered raw sugar as well.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla enhances the overall flavor and balances the jaggery.
Salt
A small amount of salt balances the sweetness and brings out the chocolate flavor.
Milk
Milk helps bring the dough together and makes it pipeable.
Chocolate Chips or Chunks
Chocolate adds sweetness and texture. It makes these mini chocolate chip cookies more indulgent and especially loved by kids.

Hii this is an amazing healthy recipe!
Can you just let me know if how much normal flour should we use instead of jowar and chickpea flour. And other ingredients should remain same?
I already have a wholewheat version that you can try: https://vanillatrails.com/amazing-kesar-pista-butter-cookies/
Hii for this recipe can we freeze the dough ?Millet cookie?
Yes absolutely. You can freeze and bake as and when you need.
Hi!
Can we substitute normal jaggery instead of jaggery powder or raw sugar? If yes, then how to use it?
You can grate a jaggery block finely and try that. Prowdered jaggery is just easier to mix into these recipes.

Yes you can bake them in an air fryer. Bake at 150C for 10 mins, after that check every 5 mins as time may differ for every airfryer.
