Eggless Multigrain Cookie Recipe which are healthier and nutritious at any given day. I have added amaranth flour, ragi flour, oats flour and whole wheat flour. Also added refined flour to make the texture of the cookie light and not very dense. So these are good for kids, adults or even old age people.
I was craving to eat butter cookies so thought why not make something healthy. Hence came up with the idea of adding some nutritive flour and making multigrain cookies. Instead of making a small batch I made a large batch to give them to my in laws. They also liked the taste of the cookies. They are crunchy from out and soft from within.
We use organic flour at home so used them for the cookies too. I have used butter but if you are calorie conscious then use oil. Even clarified butter would taste good. For garnish or toppings I have used pistachio flakes, dried papaya. You could use nuts or candies or even leave them plain.
Also for shaping cookies I have used thumb impression and giving oval shapes. But you could use a cookie cutter or moulds to shape your cookies. Since it’s eggless I have used baking powder, milk powder and milk to replace eggs. But if you wish you could add one egg instead of milk. The cookies are spiced with cardamom powder and dry ginger powder. Alternatively you could use vanilla or rose essence.

Annapoorna Banerjee says
May I ask what the cornflour is for? Also how many cookies does a batch make?
maria says
Annapoorna you can use maize flour instead of cornflour or even skip it. This should give you about 750 grams of cookies. Hope this information helps you, thanks. A batch will make about 30 cookies also depends on the size and make of the cookies.
