wholewheat chocolate chip chia cookies

I don’t make cookies nearly as much as I should. These amazing eaten warm out of the oven – they are so soft and it’s an awesome experience biting into melted chocolate. Just as good for the next couple of days with some milk. Mmmmmmm.

This recipe makes about 20 decent sized cookies.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups whole wheat flour (wholemeal)

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp bi carb soda (baking soda)

225g unsalted butter, chopped

1 cup loosely packed dark brown sugar

1 cup raw sugar

2 large organic free-range eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

225g dark chocolate, roughly chopped into small pieces (or use ready made dark chocolate chips)

2 tbs chia seeds

METHOD

Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a tray with baking paper.

Sift the flour and other dry ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, add butter and sugars. Mix until smooth and add eggs, one at a time. Mix properly until combined then stir in the vanilla.

Add the flour mix to the wet ingredients and mix through. Stir in chocolate bits and chia seeds and mix until evenly incorporated.

Drop tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking tray. Sprinkle with some more chia seeds.

Bake each tray for around 12-15 minutes or until a nice golden brown.

Remove, cool for a while and get into them! They are delicious!
