Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 no egg
- 1/8 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- To a mixing bowl add wheat flour, then cooked quinoa (cool it completely) along with baking powder and salt.
- Whisk well for even mixing and set aside.
- Add an egg to another mixing bowl. Add sugar to it.
- Add butter and vanilla essence to it. Whisk well.
- Now add quinoa flour mixture to it and mix with a spatula.
- Add choco chips and fold in. Do not overmix.
- I used my 1 tablespoon spoon to measure even sized cookies. Scoop out using a small spoon and place it on a butter paper. Slightly flatten it.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven at 180 Deg C for 10 mins.
- Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 12-15 mins until the cookies are golden.
- Cool down completely then store or enjoy Quinoa Cookies! I loved the warm fresh out of the cookies so enjoyed a few :) and tats the main benefit of homemade goodies soo fresh and warm!
Notes
- These cookies are not too sweet if you want you can increase sugar to 1/4 cup. But as choco chips is there 1/8 cup sugar was just right for us and no one complained too. Incase if you prefer your cookies to be more sweeter then increase sugar.
