Nutritional benefits
Made at home, cookies let you control the sugar and choose a good dark chocolate. In a sensible portion, they are a guilt-free treat, with no additives or industrial oils. Ideal for a well-managed children’s snack.
Variations and substitutions
- With rolled oats.
- With pecan nuts.
- With peanut butter.

Storage and making ahead
Keep for 5 days in an airtight tin; the raw dough freezes as ready-to-bake balls.
💡 Good to know
Take them out of the oven when they still look a little soft: they finish cooking on the tray and stay soft in the middle.
