These have been a favourite around here lately… they are chocolaty and satisfying but not too sweet…
I make them big enough that one is often all that you need…
In one bowl… mix together the dry ingredients…
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups Oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
In another bowl…
Cream togther
- 1 cup butter (softened or melted… melted makes the cookie chewier)
- 1 1/2 cup sugar (I use demerrara)
In a small bowl mix together
- 2 tbsp of ground flax seed and
- 6 tbsp of water
and add that to the butter and sugar..
and then mix in
- 2 tsp of vanilla…
Mix the wet and dry together until well combined (but don’t overmix)
Bake at 350 for about 14 min…
I make 2 dozen big cookies with this recipe…
mmmm…those look so good!
These look so perfect. Will definitely be giving these ones a go. Any cookie title that has chocolate in it twice is something I would love. I love how you’ve photographed them too. Also the potato photo below, I’m not a potato fan but my husband and oldest son like them a lot. I’ll try that next time.
i don’t understand the purpose of the flax seed. is it to make the cookies “healthy”?
Basically it replaces the eggs as a binder… and gives a flavour that I enjoy… and yeah… flax is not bad for you either…
btw… you can replace the fax seeds/water combo by 2 eggs if you don’t have or want the flax seed…
Dark chocolate is my favorite kind of chocolate. Chocolates have some natural antioxidants too.-*,
