Milk chocolate & Macadamia nut chunk soft-baked spelt cookies

These are the cookies of my dreams! Yes, my dreams are filled with sugar. If you like big, fat, soft, chewy, sticky, sweet cookies, (like you get in the supermarket or at Subway), get these in your oven, fast. The knack of producing the soft, chewy-ness is in the baking time, so make sure that you don't over bake, by checking them every minute or so after the 7 minute mark has passed.

Ingredients


125g Spelt flour
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp salt
85g butter, melted
100g soft brown sugar
50g castor sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
100g cooking milk choc
50g macadamia nuts, roughly chopped


Method 


Preheat the oven to 170oC.
Mix together the butter and sugars & add the
vanilla and egg. Mix.
Stir in the flour, bicarb & salt. 
Finally, add in the choc & nuts and mix.
Drop the mixture in teaspoon sized, roughly round blobs, onto a baking sheet covered in baking paper. Leaving a good gap between each one, as they'll spread out a good couple of inches either way during cooking.
Bake for 10-15 mins.

These little beauties are especially good served warm, with a glass of milk and will keep well for about a week in an airtight container (if they last that long).


Makes about 14 cookies.
