These chocolate chip cookies are made with quinoa flour, whole wheat flour and dark chocolate and mint chips.
I know it is too early for chocolate -mint recipes, but I just couldn’t help myself and share these Quinoa Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies with you.
When I went to Walmart last week, I stumbled upon these Nestle Tollhouse Winter Dark Chocolate and Mint Morsels. I got just one pack…
I need to make a confession – I haven’t worked out at all this week! I simply haven’t had any time and decided to take a break for a week! It is not the end of the world and I’m definitely happy to enjoy some of these cookies.
These might not be the best-looking chocolate chip cookies, but they have some amazing flavors going on.
I’ve been experimenting with quinoa flour and I’m impressed by its amazing taste. In this recipe I mixed quinoa flour (homemade) and some white whole wheat flour.
The use of quinoa flour brought some nutty taste to these cookies, but at the same time they are soft and even a little chewy.
These cookies are made with coconut oil, which made them very moist.
I was so excited to use the chocolate mint morsels, so I went for this simple cookie recipe. I really wanted to make then gluten free, but I did not. I used some whole wheat flour to make sure they hold their shape and stay moist.
I did not have time to think of recipes, because my husband loved the morsels so much, so half of the pack was gone while I was preparing the cookie sheets, so I had to act quickly.
Hope you like the cookies!
