Chocolate chip cookies for breakfast

Some people like changing, other ones are more traditional as I am. I love having always the same breakfast: flavored tea, three or four home-made cookies and some fruit, and I am in good spirits. I don’t like buying cookies, but I bake them with my husband’s help on Sunday morning. This is my recipe for chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients

  • 160 gr dark (better) big chocolate chips or chunks 
  • 220 gr flour type 00 or a mix of different kinds of four: 00, oat, spelt, whole-wheat and/or flour type 1 or 2. The quantity is your choice, but you should use at least 80gr of flour 00. 
  • 30 gr oat bran (be sure you use oat bran, not oat flakes)
  • 1 tbs dark cocoa powder
  • 1 bag vanilla baking powered he most suitable baking powder is composed of disodium pyrophosphate E450, sodium bicarbonate E500, and lightly vanilla flavored wheat starch, (Paneangeli baking powder)
  • 2 eggs M-sized
  • 120 gr butter
  • 120 gr caster sugar 
Servings 24 cookies

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the sugar; 
  • Add the eggs, one at a time and mix very well; 
  • Add the flour (or a mix of flours); 
  • When it is well combined, add the oat-bran and the cocoa powder; 
  • Now add the chocolate chips, and sieve in the baking powder not to make any lumps; 
  • Combine well, but not work the mixture too much; 
  • Make walnut-side scoops of the mixture (if they are they same size they will bake evenly) with your wet wet hands, flatten them to give them a round shape; 
  • Place them evenly spaced onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper; 
  • Preheat the static oven and bake at 180°C (356°F);
  • Let them cool; 
  • Extra: in the meanwhile you may melt some chocolate in the microwave or “en bain Marie”: you can sandwich two cookies together with a dollop of chocolate; 
  • If you want more rustic and tempting cookies, lay more chocolate chips onto the baking tray, then place the scoops of mixture and top with more chips. Gently tap the cookies so the chips will evenly stick to them. Your cookies will get unbelievably mouthwatering.
  • More tempting version: replace oat bran  with dark cocoa powder for double chocolate  cookies. Very dark chocolate ones, those I love for my breakfast!
