Comments & Reviews

Loved them, it turned more into cake batter instead of cookie dough. Not sure what I did wrong but still turned out yummy

10/10! I halved the recipe, and divided the dough into 50 gram balls to yield 11 cookies. I used spelt flour and cacao powder to enhance nutrient density + chilled the dough for 2 hours. This is the first time I have incorporated cornflour in a cookie dough making the cookies soft and chewy. Feautred in Queen Winter eBook 2020, pp. 40-41.
