Cookies are widely consumed throughout the world especially among children. They are ready-to eat, convenient and inexpensive food products, containing digestive and dietary principle of vital importance. This study investigated the quality attributes of cookies from wheat, lima beans and tigernut composite flour. Wheat flour was blended with lima beans and tigernut flour at the ratios of 90:5:5, 85:10:5, 80:15:5, 75:20:5 and 70:25:5, respectively. The flour blends were analysed for proximate, functional and pasting properties while the cookies produced from the blends were analysed for anti-nutritional, colour and sensory properties using standard laboratory procedure. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, and mean values were separated using Duncan’s multiple range test. The moisture content, crude fat, crude protein, total ash, crude fibre and total carbohydrate ranged from 8.09%-10.82%, 4.24%-5.58%, 7.04%-8.08%, 1.65%-2.10%, 3.06%-3.48% and 72.68%-73.10%, respectively. Increase in lima bean substitution led to increase in bulk density, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, swelling capacity except solubility index. Significant differences were observed in the pasting properties of the flour blends. Phytate and tannin content of the cookies ranged from 0.574-0.634% and 0.168-0.231% while range of values for lightness, redness and yellowness of cookies were: 38.82-40.04, 6.90-7.96 and 16.26-18.26, respectively. However, cookies prepared from blend of 70% wheat flour, 25% lima bean and 5% tigernut flour were the most preferred in terms of overall acceptability.
