Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 10 mins
Servings 9 cookies

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 160 g wholemeal spelt flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp cocoa powder
  • salt
  • 6 tbsp maple syrup
  • 5 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 80 g 70% dark chocolate
  • 1 small handful of white sesame seeds

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the spelt flour, cinnamon, baking powder and cocoa powder with a pinch of salt.
  • Then add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, olive oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until a cookie dough has formed. Next, roughly chop the chocolate into small pieces and stir two thirds of it into the cookie dough and leave the rest for later.
  • Transfer the cookie dough to the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. Towards the end of the 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 400°F fan and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Once the cookie dough has chilled, divide it into 9 and roll each piece into a ball. Next, shape each ball into a cookie shape that’s 5cm (2”) wide and place it on the lined baking tray.
  • Using the leftover chocolate, push a few pieces into the top of each cookie. Then sprinkle sesame seeds over all of them and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Once out of the oven, sprinkle the cookies with a pinch of salt.
