Finger Millet Pillow Cookies

As I always say baking is meditative and baking heals my soul . I love to bake ! I am always excited when baking whole foods plant based because the end result of the bakes always suprise me. And I am always grateful to my dear mentor Madhura Vayal who taught me how to bake whole foods plant based treats. She is a fabulous baker herself !
These pillowy finger millet cookies with hint of cardamon are gorgeous.
Here’s the recipe

For Dry

  • 1 cup Finger millet flour
  • 1/4 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1/4 tsp crushed cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp rock salt

For Wet

  • 1 flax egg(1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water )
  • 1 tbsp cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp jaggery powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk (or as needed to make a pilable dough)
  1. Prepare the flax egg by mixing flax meal and water .Keep this aside.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
  3. Slowly mix in the wet mixture in the dry mixture.
  4. The cookie dough will be soft but a little gooey too. Now line a baking tray with parchment paper and scoop out rounds of the cookie dough.
  5. Pat the dough and shape the cookies on the baking tray with help of your fingers or back of a spoon.
  6. Preheat the oven at 170 degree Celsius and bake these beauties for 12-15 minutes. Let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
