BISCOTTI INTEGRALI CON CIOCCOLATA or WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS

chocolate1

I don't particularly like cookies but I sure bake a lot of them. Sometimes a batch lasts forever (usually without chocolate) and sometimes I tear my hair in despair because they just disappear within 24 hours. These did. I even liked them but didn't get much chance to eat any which I think it's a good sign. One of the reasons to why I make most of our cookies is that I try to avoid feeding my children too many trans fats, I want them to have as good a start as possible. But I'm not rigidly following this rule of mine because now and then I just don't have the time or the energy (or I just get fed up with my own ideas) to make any so I buy readymade cookies and feel guilty.

300 ml / 1.25 cup normal flour
1 egg
100 g / 3.5 oz dark quality chocolate chips or chopped

- Stir butter and sugar smooth. Add the egg and mix it well.
- Add the flours and continue to work the dough until it is mixed well.
- Work the chocolate chips quickly into the dough and start rolling small balls that you put on a baking sheet.
- Press the balls with a fork or the palm of your hand until they are flat (about 1/2 cm /0.2 in high) and bake them in a pre-heated oven (175°C/ 350°F) for about 10 minutes.
