Clove chocolate chip cookie
Delicious chocolate chip cookies with a hint of cloves.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2½ tbsp cocoa powder
- ⅓ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- a handful of white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp ground cloves (not heaped, or else will be too strong)
- 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp black treacle
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 egg
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, soda, ground cloves and chocolate chips.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, sugar and black treacle.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and tip in the egg mixture.
- Fold in till everything comes together...can use fingertips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
- Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C and line a baking tray.
- Make 14-15 balls from the mixture and place them a little apart on the lined tray. Slightly flatten the balls and with a skewer, press lines , further flattening them (I first tried it with the back of a greased fork, but the mixture kept sticking to it).
- Place the tray in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for 12-13 minutes.
- Cool on the tray for a minute and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
