Ragi Jowar Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are made with refined flour, butter, refined sugar and chocolate chips, especially the ones which we get readymade. Now if we are making them at home, we can replace the refined flour with whole wheat flour and refined sugar with jaggery or any other type of healthy sugar and make healthy chocolate chip cookies.

Another option is that we replace refined flour by millet flour. The cookies will be healthier. So in this recipe, I have used a combination of ragi and jowar flour with jaggery. You can make them with either ragi flour or jowar flour.

Jowar or sorghum is a great source of protein and fibre. Ragi or finger millet is full of calcium, a mineral which is needed for healthy bones and strong teeth. And we all are aware of the benefits of including jaggery in the diet. Jaggery is not only a good source of iron, magnesium, zinc and folic acid but also aids digestion.
