Chocolate choc chip cookies
Embracing my kids in the kitchen is really paying off.
Just the other day I sat on the lounge with a cuppa, flicking through a magazine, while chatting to my son who was in the kitchen testing out his creation for Chocolate Choc Chip Cookies. The recipe invention had been on his mind for a while (off course it had to be chocolate on chocolate!)
So on the weekend between basketball and golf he whipped up this batch and saved me having to think about a healthy treat for lunch boxes this week.Winning!
He had a couple of attempts with this recipe (mum got involved the first time and apparently wrecked it a bit) before he was happy for me to blog it. And he wants me to tell you that for some reason, they are yummier after a couple of days!
- 1 cup white spelt flour
- 1 cup wholemeal spelt flour
- 2 - 3 eggs (depends on size)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 125gms butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup coconut or rapadura sugar
- 1/4 cup choc chips
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a one bowl.
- Mix butter, two eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix together until just combined.
- NB: If batter appears too dry, add in the third egg and mix through.
- Roll up tablespoons of dough into balls and place onto lined baking trays.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes. Rotate cookies at 5 minutes.
- Leave them to cool on trays.
- These are delicious with my Notella spread on top : )
NB: My kids are used to less sugar in recipes, if you are just starting to transition your kids away from sugar, you may decide you need more. A sneaky taste of the batter will tell.
Why not spread some Notella on top for some extra decadent deliciousness!

Not sure Rita, ours always are nice, not overly moist, but just right. Is it possible you over mixed the batter?
