Pearl Millet Cookies(Eggless)

I was going to visit my mom's place and wanted to give her a sweet surprise. So I baked few goodies one of which was Bajra/Pearl Millet Cookies. The idea to make Bajra cookies stuck while I was going thru the biscuits section of my local food store. I found they were selling Bajra and Ragi cookies. I thought why not try making at home. I followed almost the same process of making cookies except I replaced all purpose flour with Bajra, corn meal and whole wheat. I added ginger powder and cocoa powder in small quantities, coz I just wanted mild flavor. So do try it, they are a hit and my mom loved it. Here goes the recipe... Happy cooking...

Ingredients:

Pearl Millet/Bajra/Kaambu powder - 1 1/2 cup
Corn meal powder - 1/2 cup
Whole wheat powder - 1/2 cup + for dusting
Butter - 125 gms
Sugar(powdered) - 3 tbsp
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Cocoa powder - 1 tsp
Dry ginger powder - 1/2 tsp

Method:

Mix butter and sugar together. 

Sieve all the dry ingredients and add to the butter mixture.

Mix the ingredients to form a dough.

Rest the dough in refrigerator for about 20 minutes(cover the dough).

Divide the dough into medium sized balls and roll it with a rolling pin( do not roll it thin, maintain about 1 inch thickness). With a cookie cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes. Bake the cookies for about 12 - 15 minutes.
