Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F), ensuring it’s ready for baking.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and jaggery. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, blend them at a medium speed until they form a smooth and well-combined mixture.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ragi flour, muesli, baking powder, cinnamon powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients together until they’re evenly distributed.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, ensuring everything is incorporated thoroughly. Mix until a dough forms.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Shape the Cookies: Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a baking sheet. Using a small ice cream scoop, portion out the dough onto the tray, placing each scoop a few inches apart to allow the cookies to spread while baking. If you prefer, you can shape the dough by hand.
-
Chill the Dough: For best results, refrigerate the cookie dough for about 10 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
-
Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden color. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve your Muesli Ragi Chocolate Chip Cookies with a steaming cup of adrak chai (ginger tea) for a perfect afternoon snack. Alternatively, pair them with some Chocolate Crinkle Cookies for an exciting tea party with friends!
These cookies are the perfect blend of health and indulgence, offering a great balance of flavor and nutrition. Enjoy these guilt-free treats anytime you crave a wholesome, yet tasty, snack!
Notes:
- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can adjust the amount of jaggery.
- Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruits for a different flavor profile.
Enjoy baking and indulging in these nutritious, flavorful cookies!
