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.

RECIPE FAQS

How long do I need to allow for cooling before I can eat these cookies?

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.

What are the best chocolate chips to use?

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.
