Wholemeal chocolate cookies
Chocolate-covered whole wheat cookies are delicious and appetizing. They taste similar to whole wheat digestive cookies, but aren't as salty, with a subtle hint of coconut. Perfect for those who can't resist a sweet treat but also want to quell their guilty conscience...
Wholemeal chocolate cookies – ingredients for about 35 pieces:
- 90 g butter
- 60 g light brown sugar (fine)
- 1 egg
- 20 g coconut flakes
- 25 g bran (any kind)
- 120 g whole wheat flour
- 75 g wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue mixing until combined. Add the coconut flakes, bran, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until combined.
Form small balls from the mixture, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and flatten them with a fork.
Bake at 180ºC for about 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool.
In addition:
- 100 – 150 g dark chocolate, melted
Melt the chocolate in a water bath (see how to do it), dip each cookie halfway in it, and place on a wire rack.
Enjoy your meal!
