Let’s look at the main Ingredients!

Jowar Flour (Sorghum Flour)
Jowar is naturally gluten free and rich in fiber. It gives structure to these cookies and helps create that crisp texture throughout. Any other millet flour will work in this recipe too.

Besan / Chickpea Flour
Besan adds a mild nutty flavour and improves texture. It supports the structure and helps the cookies hold their shape after piping.

Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds add fiber and healthy fats. When ground, they help bind the dough so it does not result in crumbly cookies.

Baking Powder & Baking Soda
These help the cookies rise slightly. They ensure the cookies stay light and not dense while still remaining crisp.

Unsalted Butter (Softened)
Butter adds richness and flavour. It also helps the cookies bake evenly and develop a crisp bite.

Powdered Jaggery (or Raw Sugar)
Jaggery adds a deep, caramel-like sweetness. It blends well with the flours and enhances the overall taste of these jaggery cookies.

Vanilla Extract
Vanilla adds aroma and depth. It makes the cookies taste more rounded and bakery-like.

Salt
Salt balances sweetness. It enhances all the flavours in the cookies.

Milk
Milk helps bring the dough together. It also adjusts the consistency so the dough is easy to pipe.

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

1/3 cup, 80g Unsalted Butter/Ghee and add

1/2 cup, 80g Powdered Raw Sugar/Khand

1 tsp, 5ml Vanilla Extract and

1/8 tsp Salt or 1/4 tsp Pink Salt

2 tbsp, 30ml Milk

1/4 cup, 60ml more Milk (if needed)

Instructions

Step 1:
Add jowar flour, besan, flaxseeds, baking powder, and baking soda to a blender. Grind into a very fine powder and set aside.

Step 2:
Take soft butter and powdered jaggery in a bowl. Cream them until smooth and slightly fluffy.

Step 3:
Add vanilla extract and salt. Mix well until combined.

Step 4:
Add milk and mix again. The mixture becomes smooth and slightly loose.

Step 5:
Add the prepared dry ingredients. Mix gently to form a soft dough.

Step 6:
Add 1–2 tablespoons more milk if needed. Mix until the dough becomes soft and easy to pipe.

Step 7:
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe flower shapes onto a lined baking tray.

Step 8:
Place a chocolate chip or chopped chocolate in the center. Press lightly so it sticks.

Step 9:
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 25–30 minutes. The cookies turn golden and feel firm on top.

Step 10:
Cool completely on the tray. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

• Grind the dry ingredients into a very fine powder for an even texture
• Use soft butter or cold ghee for easy creaming and smooth dough.
• Cream butter and jaggery well so the cookies are not grainy
• Add milk gradually and keep the dough soft and pipe-able.
• Do not make the dough too thick, or piping will be difficult
• Use a star nozzle (like 1M) for defined flower shapes
• Pipe evenly sized cookies for uniform baking
• Bake until the tops feel firm—this ensures a crisp texture throughout
• Do not underbake, or the cookies may soften later
• Cool completely before storing to maintain crispness
