Eggless Multi Grain Cookies


Maida is used in mostly all cakes, cookies and brownies. For a change instead of Maida I used multi  grain powder  to make cookies. It combines the goodness of various grains to give you a healthier and nutritious diet. They are very easy to make and taste delicious. I  Made these Multi grain cookies with goodness of butter, and refreshing Cardamom flavour and pistachio on top makes these cookies more flavorful and cookies are light and crispy. They are great with tea or coffee.

Multigrain powder: Take 50 gm of Ragi, bajra, jowar, channa dal, saboodana , maize,whole wheat grains, and barley . Clean and Dry roast the ingredients except oats and  till nice aroma comes. Remove from heat and let it cool. Combine all ingredients and grind in flour mill. Let the flour cool to room temperature after grinding. Your multigrain flour is now ready. Store it in an air tight container and use when required. you can make Porridge also.
