Chia Seed Chocolate Chunk Walnut Cookies (The Bomb)





Monster Delights

Alright, we're shaking things up here in Rheea Town. Screw chips (that's weak) we are doing chunks and mega walnuts. Yeah, so you might have to shell out some money for this one because walnuts do not come cheap our side of the globe.

We're using chia seeds to replace eggs. These cookies are going to be soft cake-like amazingness. If you eat more than one you better run in the morning. I have been tame with the sugar if you like things sweeter add 1/4th cup more of regular sugar to this.

So what do I need?

2 cups flour (maida)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup regular sugar
1/3 cup oil
3 tablespoons chia seeds
5 table almond/soya mylk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Giant bar of Amul Bitter chocolate or two small bars of any dark choclate (use milk chocolate and I will boycott you)
3/4th cup walnuts (or more if you want)

Cookie Swag





Now what?

You need 3 bowls. First add the flour, baking soda/powder/salt in one large bowl.
In a super tiny bowl add your chia seeds and add a tablespoon or 2 of water, let it sit for a minute, it will become jelly like and thicker- that's you veggie eggs (plus chia is good for you, right?)





Chia Goo


In another bowl add oil, sugars, wet chia seed goo and cream it well.

Now add your wet creamed mix  to the flour mix and blend well.It should be a little wet, you can add your milk now, add less or more to get it right. Break your dark chocolate into chunks (not small chips) and add it to the dough, then add your walnuts. Blend with your hands, it should hold together but still be wet to touch.

Pre-heat oven to 170c

On a greased pan drop medium sized balls and flatten gently (they will be uneven and bulky- real cookies have curves)


Balls of Bliss


You will have to do this in batches if your oven is small (like mine) I can bake about 6-8 cookies at a time. Each batch has to go in for about 10 min.

Let them cool and slide them on to a plate. Best enjoyed with a glass of cold milk.

 Chocolate Kisses my readers!
