Super chocolatey biscuits



All kids love double choc nibbles. You know, the ones made from chocolate flavoured dough and enriched with chocolate chips too. Here are some made with nice protein rich wholemeal kamut flour. They’re easy to make and yummy to eat. 



Ingredients:
250 gms olive oil spread
250 gms kamut flour
125 gms sugar
25 gms cocoa powder
50 gms dark choc chips or dark chocolate, chopped

1.       Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees fan, 200 degrees conventional
2.       Cream the fat.
3.       Add in the flour, cocoa powder and sugars. I do this gradually as it makes it easier to mix by hand but if you are using a mixer then you could add it all in at once. Mix to a smooth and sticky paste
4.       Add the chopped chocolate and mix in thoroughly.
5.       Line a baking sheet with baking parchment
6.       Break off golf-ball sized pieces of the dough and roll into balls. Place on the baking parchment leaving space for them to spread.


7.       Flatten each ball into a circle a bit over a centimetre thick.
8.       Cook for 20 minutes until golden and then place on a rack to cool.



These might be wholemeal but you’d never know it. They’re crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, a lovely deep chocolate brown and not too sweet.  What’s not to like?
