Easy Sheet Cookie

This week’s new recipe is a gooden! An easy peasy sheet cookie that uses literally just a handful of pantry ingredients so you can whip it up anytime!

I love the texture of this cookie. It’s perfectly chewy but still crisp on the edges and the warm melty choc chips on top make it so gooey and oozy straight from the oven. I sweetened this cookie with pure maple syrup for that gorgeous maple-y flavour, which just pairs so well with nuts of any kind really! I love adding sea salt flakes for that mouth-watering sweet/salty combo in every bite too.

If you don’t have a food processor, you can use oat flour or plain flour in place of the rolled oats and mix everything together in a bowl with a spoon.

Hope you guys love this one! Perfect for a Monday night with a hot cuppa :)

Happy baking,

Easy Sheet Cookie

Serves 8

Ingredients

1 cup almond meal

1 cup rolled oats or oat flour or plain flour

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp vanilla bean extract

1 tsp baking powder

A good pinch of sea salt flakes

A generous 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Method

Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius (fan-forced)

Place all ingredients except for chocolate chips into the food processor. Blend until a dough forms.

Scrape dough out with a spatula and place onto a baking paper lined tray. Gently shape the cookie dough into a 1cm thick square shape about 20cm by 20cm. The dough is quite firm so it will hold in whichever shape you mould it into.

Top the cookie with the choc chips and gently press into the dough. Bake for 15 minutes.

Cool on the tray for 10 minutes until it firms up then carefully cut the cookie into slices and enjoy!
