Ingredients:

Powdered Oats - 1 cup

Maida - 3/4 cup

Ragi Flour - 1/4 cup

Powdered Sugar - 1 cup

Desiccated Coconut - 1 cup

Oil - 1/2 cup

Cocoa Powder - 2 tbsp

Golden Syrup/Honey - 2 tbsp

Water - 2 tbsp

Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp

Salt - 1 pinch

Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp


Method:

1.  Preheat oven to 180 degrees C for 10 minutes.

2.  Mix together powdered oats, maida, ragi flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and desiccated coconut until well combined.  Keep aside. 

2.  Mix together the wet ingredients of oil, golden syrup or honey, vanilla essence, and water.  Combine together.

3.  To the dry ingredient mixture, add the wet ingredient mixture.  Mix well and gather to form a nonsticky dough like a chappathi dough.  If the dough does not hold together, add 1 tsp more of water and mix to dough.

4.  Make small balls and flatten a bit to say about 1/4 inch thickness.  Place them on a baking tray approximately 1 inch apart so that they do not stick together in the baking process.  

5.  Bake at 170 degrees in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the base of the cookies turn golden brown.  Switch off the oven and allow them to remain in the oven for another 5 minutes.  Remove the tray from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.  Place the cookies on a wire rack and allow to cool.  Store in an airtight container.  When hot, the cookies would be soft but get crispier when cooled.
