Calories in our millet cookies
The label serving for both cookies is 3 cookies, or 30 g.

What is in these cookies?
Both the Bajra Cookies and Jowar Cookies list millet flour, butter, rock salt and raw sugar. There is no maida and there are no preservatives. Butter and raw sugar give the cookies their taste and texture, and they also add calories. Because the recipe includes dairy, these cookies are not vegan.
How many millet cookies should you eat?
The label serving of 3 cookies is a good guide. If you want a smaller treat, 1 or 2 cookies with tea may be enough. Your own needs depend on your age, activity and diet, so use this as a guide rather than a rule.
Easy ways to keep portions under control
- Take the cookies out of the pack and put the pack away.
- Pair them with fruit or a handful of nuts.
- Have them with tea or milk without extra sugar.
- Eat them slowly, as a planned snack rather than while working.
Are millet cookies good for weight loss?
No single cookie causes or prevents weight loss. Millet cookies give you more fibre than many refined flour biscuits, but they are still energy-dense. If you are trying to lose weight, count them as a treat and speak to a dietitian for a plan that suits you.
