Notes

If milling your own flax seeds 1 1/4 tbsp whole seeds yields 2 tbsp milled seeds.
Baked cookies can be frozen. You can also freeze unbaked cookies. Place onto a tray in the freezer. Once hard, place into a bag. Cook from frozen, allowing an extra 4-5 minutes in the oven.

Method

Your notes

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2

Mix together the milled flax and water. Set aside to soak for at least 15 minutes. It’s essential that the flax and water bind together, becoming really gooey, to guarantee the correct result.

3

Place the flax egg, brown sugar and extra virgin olive oil into a mixing bowl. Mix to combine.

4

Add the ground almonds, cacao, dark chocolate and a light sprinkle of salt and stir to combine.

5

Shape into 12 balls. Flatten slightly and place onto your prepared baking tray. It helps to do this with wet hands.

6

Place into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely on the tray. Serve sprinkled with a little extra flaky sea salt, if desired.
