Hazelnut and chocolate cookies

I had a jar of hazelnut butter in my cupboard and a spare egg which needed using up. So, I made some cookies! Using 50% butter (well, it's not even proper butter!) and 50% hazelnut butter make the biscuits easier to digest and much healthier too! Less fat, more fibre and more proteins. I also used 50% millet flakes and 50% flour instead of just flour, and it makes the texture really nice.


The following recipe will make 18 cookies:

90g millet flakes
90g plain white flour
1 tsp baking powder
60g hazelnut butter
60g butter
100g muscovado sugar
50g caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g dark cooking chocolate, grated

1. Mix it all in a bowl until well blended.
2. Place spoonfuls on a baking tray and cook for 10 minutes in a preheated oven (180 degrees)

Yum yum!
