Seed and Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Another great recipe for lunchboxes and picnics this week, or just as an elevenses treat.  Deliciously chewy and moreish, you might find it hard to just stop at one.  Try varying the recipe by using milk, dark or white chocolate chips, or adding dried fruit such as cranberries or blueberries.  Yum!


Seed and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 18

Ingredients

30g hemp seed hearts

1. Preheat the oven to 160C.  Grease and line two baking trays.

2. Cream the melted butter and sugar together until well blended.

3. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla a little at a time.  The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
