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.

Ingredients

1 cup (120g) - Jowar/Sorghum flour

3 tbsp (20g) - Besan/Chickpea flour

2.5 tbsp (15g) - Flaxseeds

1/4 tsp - Baking Powder

1/4 tsp - Baking Soda

1/4 tsp - Salt

1/3 cup (80g) - Unsalted Butter/Ghee

1/2 cup (75g) - Powdered Jaggery

1 tsp (5ml) - Vanilla Extract

2 tbsp (30ml) + 2 tbsp (30ml) - Milk

50g-80g Dark Chocolate Chunks or Chips

Instructions

 

Step 1: Prepare dry mix
Add jowar flour, besan, flaxseeds, baking powder and baking soda to a mixer. Grind into a very fine powder for a smoother texture.

Step 2: Cream butter and jaggery
In a bowl, add soft butter and powdered jaggery. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add flavouring
Add vanilla extract and salt to the mixture. Mix again until combined.

Step 4: Add milk
Pour in milk and mix gently. The mixture should start to come together.

Step 5: Make the dough
Add the prepared dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Mix to form a soft, pipeable dough and add 1–2 tbsp more milk if needed.

Step 6: Pipe mini cookies
Transfer the dough to a piping bag. Pipe small dollops onto a tray lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat.

Step 7: Add chocolate topping
Place a small piece of chocolate or a chip on each cookie. Press lightly so it sticks and smoothen the top of the cookies.

Step 8: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 15–20 minutes. The cookies should turn golden and feel firm on top.

Step 9: Cool and store
Let the cookies cool halfway on the tray inside the oven with the oven door half open. Once cooled completely, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

• Grind the dry ingredients very fine for a better texture
• Use soft butter or cold (not frozen) ghee for easy creaming
• Adjust milk slowly to get a pipeable dough. Depending on your flour, the exact amount of milk needed, will vary.
• Keep the cookies small for even baking and crisp texture
• Do not overbake, they firm up more as they cool
• Use a silicon mat or parchment to prevent sticking
• Let cookies cool fully before storing to keep them crisp
• If you don't like chocolate, add chopped nuts of your choice.
