spiced choc chip cookies

These spiced choc chip cookies are perfect for the holiday season. They're like christmas in a cookie. Warming spices, dark chocolate, and they come together so easily. And another bonus: if you make a big batch of dough and freeze, you can always pop one in the oven when you fancy one!

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 120 grams butter (plant-based)
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 50 grams molasses (in spain i used miel de caña)
  • 1 tbsp oil of your choice, to bind the mixture
  • 140 grams spelt flour or another whole grain flour of choice
  • 90 grams rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/8 tsp star anise
  • 100 gram dark chocolate chips
  • 20 grams dark chocolate

Equipment

  • stand mixer (not necessary, can also use hands and a whisk!)
  • oven
  • freezer (or fridge will do)

Method
 

  1. Whip up the butter with the brown sugar and molasses.
  2. Add in the dry ingredients: oats, flour, spices, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips. Work into a cohesive cookie dough. No need to over-knead ;).
  3. Shape into balls. You can eyeball it or weigh them out. I like to weigh them to ensure even cooking. Around 75/80 grams per cookie.
  4. Place the cookies in the freezer whilst you preheat the oven to 180°C.
  5. Bake for 18 minutes. Let cool before taking them from the baking tray. They need to cool to set. You can eat these whilst warm, but wait a little bit before you try to pick them up!

Notes

My top tip for cookies is to make a batch of dough and leave some frozen dough balls in the freezer for when the mood for a cookie strikes!
