Chocolate Chip Ragi ,Oats and Whole Wheat Chocolate Cookies-Two tone
Spring is visiting my garden.
Flowers everywhere.
The Sweet peas are climbing as high as they can get and are spreading their wondrous fragrance and the ice flowers are crawling around just looking pretty. Pretty ,I'd say they look beautiful ,like millions of butterflies just sitting pretty.
In the sunshine,they open up to display the amazing colours. When I get back from school,I head to my garden...food and rest be damned,the happiness that these tiny flowers give is awesome.
My heart comes to my mouth...
These cookies are a version of the Ragi Cookies that I made last time. A little bit of chocolate and some of the Toll house chocolate chips that sweet sister brought back from the USA totally altered masked the earthiness of the Ragi cookies. Some one asked me if these cookies were good to eat... My response was the reaction of sweet child,the cookie jar emptied in record time. Suffice to say,he never realised they were healthy.
Totally worth trying...
Your bones will thank you for it. Ragi (Finger Millet)is very rich in calcium and is easily digested.

Guilt Free pleasure for once.
You can replace the margarine with Desi Ghee or clarified butter if you so choose.
Any which way, a cookie or two will be heavenly.
