Chewy Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookies

Warm chewy chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, is there anything better?! In this weeks recipe I have given the classic chocolate chip cookie a little healthy makeover. I have replaced the butter with coconut oil and the white flour with a mix of nut and spelt flours. The result is a deliciously chewy cookie.

I have baked a few batches of these cookies over the last few weeks and they have been a big hit with the family and friends.

For a gluten free alternative I use buckwheat flour in place of the spelt flour and ‘Loving Earth’ dark chocolate for a 100% refined sugar free cookie.

Enjoy friends!
