Pearl Millet, one of the nutritional rich millet. I have already published few millet recipes. Kambu Koozh (Pearl Millet Porridge) is one of my favorite. Sometimes its hard for us to make children eat millet dishes. To make kids eat, we need to make some interesting dishes like cake, cookies etc. This time, I made Kambu Cookie. I have enriched the cookie with almonds, coconut and also used brown sugar instead of white. Pearl Millet(Kambu / Bajra) Cookie is an healthy snack for the kids.

Method:
- Pre-heat the oven at 350 deg F
- Line the cookie tray with parchment paper and set it aside
- Take a mixing bowl, add kambu flour, dry coconut powder, salt, brown sugar, cardamom powder, coarsely ground almonds, butter and mix everything well
- If needed, add milk. I have not added milk. The butter itself is enough to bind everything together into a dough
- Make small lemon sized balls out of the dough. Pat each dough ball gently between your palms and place it on the cookie tray
- Bake in the pre-heated oven of 15 minutes. Check the cookies at 10 minutes. Some model of Oven bakes faster and cookies will be ready. My oven took15 minutes. Cookies cook quicker so we need to keep a watch
- Take the baked cookies and set it aside to cool off completely
- Store the cookies in air-tight container and serve with hot tea / coffee and enjoy the homemade healthy cookies
