The easiest, most nourishing choc chip cookie ever
Servings: 10 cookies
These choc chip cookies are the ultimate combination of easy and nourishing! With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of cookies that are not only delicious but packed with wholesome goodness. Perfect for a sweet treat any time of day.
Ingredients
- 150 g almond meal (1¼ firmly packed cups)
- 55 g coconut oil (¼ cup) melted if solid
- 50-85 g rice malt syrup or honey (¼ cup approx.) taste the batter and alter the sweetness to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla -powder, extract or essence
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs -or dark chocolate chips, or both
- 1 tbsp water (must be added or they go flat)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150 ℃/300°F (fan-forced). It's preferable to use weight measurements, the recipe will need less adjusting if you do so.
- In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine all of the ingredients above until just combined.
- If using a Thermomix, mix 5 seconds, speed 4.
- Scrape the sides to incorporate the bits around the edge.
- **The mixture should be thick and sticky (like in the video below so if it feels very wet, it's important to add more almond meal).
- Roll tablespoons of the mix in your (wet) hands and place them onto a tray lined with baking paper.
- Flatten slightly with the back of the fork. The cookies above have cacao nibs through them (I put a little piece of Green and Blacks 85% chocolate on top in this pic too).
- Bake for 15 minutes or until starting to brown on top. The longer they cook, the crisper they become.
- Allow to cool fully. They will firm up as they cool.
Store
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
