Ingredients

50g Icing Sugar
50g Pecan Nuts
200g Plain Flour
110g Coconut Oil
1 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
120g Chocolate Chips
2 tbsp. Ground Flaxseed
1/2 tsp. Bicarbonate of Soda
110g Light Muscovado Sugar

Recipe

Preheat the oven to 200C and line two baking trays with grease-proof paper.
Add the pecan nuts in a small pan and toast them over a medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes until evenly toasted, shaking frequently.
Once toasted, tip the pecan nuts onto a plate and leave to cool. Once cooled chop the nuts finely.
In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed with 5 tbsp of water, stir well and leave to soak for 5 minutes.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the vanilla extract, sugar, icing sugar and soaked flaxseed. Whisk for 2 minutes with an electric whisk until creamy.
Next, add in the bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, pecan nuts, chocolate chips and flour until the mixing bowl until combined.
Put heaped table spoons of cookie dough onto the baking trays and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden!
