Sathumavu Cookies / Sprouted Health mix Cookies
Sathumaavu or Health mix is a powder made with different pulses and grains. We can make it in two ways - Either by simply roasting the grains and grinding it to a powder or the sprouted ones. In the sprouted health mix powder, the grains are first sprouted and then they are roasted, and finally made into a fine powder. The sprouted ones are more healthy and rich in proteins. Sathumaavu cookies is the best way to tempt the kids to eat this. To make Sathumaavu cookies, I have used Cane sugar instead of Refined sugar.My mom and grandmom usually makes this Sathumaavu powder at home and give it to me. Appa will buy all the ingredients necessary to make it. It is an elaborate process but the homemade is the best.This Sathumavu is totally different from the sattu that is used widely in Northern parts of india. This is used to make porridge which is very healthy. We can give it to kids and adults as well.But most kids doesn't like the porridge and some make ladoos with it and some brownies, cakes. Here I went ahead and made cookies. Kids will definitely love these cookies and it is the best way to make them eat the health mix.Some more biscuits from my blogAmaranth Orange CookiesOats BiscuitsCoconut MacaroonsButter biscuit

Notes
You can use regular sugar in powdered form or icing sugar instead of cane sugar.
Add milk slowly. Donot add it in one stretch.
If the dough is sticky do refrigerate it and use.
The temperature and the time will vary from oven to oven. So do keep an eye on the cookies.
Immediately after baking, the cookies might look undercooked and soft. So allow it to cool and then eat.
