Wholewheat Chocolate Chip Cookie Hearts … wholegrain, no refined sugar, so good!

Wholewheat Chocolate Chip Cookie Hearts – wholegrain, no refined sugar, one bowl and super simple. Quite delicious too. ♥ cookies? Then these are for you! Chocolate on V Day does make things special, throw in a heart or two, and you have super yum cookie hearts!

This was more an idea than a recipe to begin with. If you have a favourite cookie recipe, bake it into hearts like this, top the hot cookies with chocolate, then scatter over some cocoa nibs. Maybe pipe a lattice heart with melted chocolate to add some magic!

There’s not much more than a bowl and a whisk you need for this recipe. I just used the stand mixer since I was making some dough for flatbreads, else it would have been a quick mix of dry ingredients, then everything added to the bowl and mixed.

If you’d like to use my recipe, it’s below. The , is wholegrain with no refined sugar, and quite yum! You could swap the chia seed egg with an egg if you like, add more chocolate chips, perhaps some nuts too. If you don’t have dessert molds like these, perhaps bake this as a tray bake and stamp hearts out with cookie cutters? Do the stamping while the bake is still warm to get neat edges, else you might get crumbs!

Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram @passionateaboutbaking if you make this, or any other recipe from the blog. I’d love to see it!
