HOW TO MAKE
Step 1 – Make the cookie dough
Add the wet ingredients to a large bowl and mix well to ensure that there is no clumps. Then add the wet ingredients and mix to get a crumbly dough. Then fold the chocolate chips through the mixture.
Step 2 – Form into balls
Then you use a soup spoon to scoop out the dough and roll into balls. I recommended having slightly damp hands so that the batter does not stick to your hands.
Step 3 – Bake the cookies
Then cook for approximately 20 minutes! This will ensure that the outside is crunch and the middle soft.
RECIPE FAQS
I would allow at least 20 minutes for the cookies to firm up before you enjoy them. They will still be warm but will have firmed up enough to enjoy as a cookie.
You can use whatever one you like that is suited to your dietary needs? Regular, dairy free, sugar free, carob and cacao nibs will all work. You can also use milk chocolate, dark, white! To keep the recipe dairy free, you will need to use dairy free chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
