Why you’ll love these chocolate dipped butter cookies

  • As easy as can be – Just throw all the ingredients into a bowl at once and mix them using your hands. Then just roll the dough, cut it into shapes, and bake!
  • Healthier than your average butter cookie – these chocolate-dipped butter cookies are made with whole-grain flour and have less sugar than the average cookie. Whole grain flour, also called spelt flour, is high in protein and fiber, making it easier to digest. Plus, it also has essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and zinc.
  • Can be made gluten free – just swap the spelt flour for 1:1 gluten free flour.
  • Fun holiday activity – these cookies are holiday approved! They’re also fun and quick to make.

Ingredients you’ll need

A butter cookie dipped in dark chocolate, yes, please!Whole grain spelt flour – you can also use regular flour or 1:1 gluten free flour.

  • Butter – classic holiday cookies require unsalted butter. Use good quality butter for great flavor.
  • Coconut sugar – coconut sugar is lower in glycemic index, making these cookies refined sugar free, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand!
  • A pinch of salt – perfect to balance out the flavors.
  • Egg – this will bind our dough together.
  • Dark chocolate – to dip the cookies. Here you can use dark chocolate chips.
  • Coconut oil – to soften the chocolate and make it smoother.
  • Chopped nuts – chopped hazelnuts, almonds, or pecans.

Description

These chocolate dipped butter cookies are made with whole-grain flour and less sugar, healthier than your average cookie!

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cup spelt flour (150 g)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (75 g)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (50 g)
  • 1/2 egg
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 340 F / 170 C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the flour, sugar, a pinch of salt, and cubed butter. Mix using your hands and work the butter into the flour, until you’re left with a wet sand-like consistency. It’s okay if you are left with tiny chunks of butter.
  3. Scramble the egg and add only half of it to the dough. Mix until the dough comes together. At this point the dough should be soft, but not sticky. 
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or use the top of a round cup to cut out a perfectly round circle. Place each cookie on your lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.

Melted chocolate:

  1. In the microwave in 20-second intervals, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil.
  2. Dip each cookie in the melted chocolate and sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
  3. Let chill for at least one hour for the melted chocolate to dry.

I’m back!!! - after some months finishing my masters program, starting a new job, and moving twice… and finally I’m back!!! This makes me very happy! Cooking makes me feel very much at home and I had missed it.. a lot! So a big thank YOU for being here 🙆🏼‍♀️😁

As most of you know, black beans are one of my favourite foods. So it was just natural to make these black bean brownies. They are incredibly moist, soft, and fudgy and have become one of my favourites. I’ve tried them several times and I’ve finally found the perfect ingredient ratio. Don’t worry they don’t taste like black beans!

These are gluten free, low in sugar, and high in protein and fiber. Can’t wait for you to try them!
