Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F). -
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
In a food processor, add the whole wheat flour, ragi flour, baking soda, and chopped butter. Pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. -
Add Wet Ingredients:
Add the yogurt, vanilla extract, cane sugar, and chocolate chips to the food processor. Pulse again, this time on low speed, until the dough comes together. -
Chill the Dough:
Once the dough has come together, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Chilling the dough helps the flavors meld and improves the texture of the cookie pizza. -
Prepare the Baking Pan:
Lightly grease a pizza pan, tart pan, or pie pan. Transfer the chilled dough to the pan and use your fingers to evenly press the dough into the base, forming a uniform layer. -
Bake the Cookie Pizza:
Bake the cookie pizza in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes. The cookie should be puffed up and lightly browned on top with a golden crust. If you prefer your edges to be a little crispier, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes. -
Cool and Slice:
Once baked, remove the cookie pizza from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing it into wedges. Let the pizza cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices. -
Optional Toppings:
For a festive touch, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the pizza and sprinkle with decorative sugar, desiccated coconut, or colorful candy sprinkles. You can even add some mini candy gems or marshmallows for added fun. -
Serve:
Serve the Whole Wheat Ragi Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza at your kids’ birthday party or as a sweet treat after dinner. For an extra indulgence, serve it alongside Gluten-Free Banana Coconut Milk Ice Cream or pair it with other fun snacks like Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Paneer Tikka Tawa Pizza and Black Forest Cupcake. Don’t forget to offer refreshing drinks like Ice-Apple and Plum Rose Juice for the perfect dessert spread.
Tips and Variations:
- Flour Substitutions: You can experiment with other flours like oat flour or almond flour to make the cookie pizza gluten-free, though you may need to adjust the quantities.
- Chocolate Chips: Try using white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, or a combination of both for a different flavor.
- Add-ins: For more texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts (like walnuts or almonds), dried fruits (raisins or cranberries), or a swirl of peanut butter.
