Delicious and filling triple chocolate cookies made with oats and wholemeal flour. The perfect afternoon snack for hungry kids and grown ups too! (sponsored post)
Some days you just need a chunky chocolate cookie to get you through that afternoon slump… agreed?! Cookies aren’t known for being the most nutritious of snacks so I thought I’d try to make my own healthier version, packed with more filling ingredients and less sugar than the shop bought version.
To make this recipe I used my new Magimix 4200XL Food Processor that was gifted to me. I have been a fan of Magimix for a few years now. My old Magimix has been one of my most used kitchen gadgets but sadly was on its last legs after constant use for several years! Magimix kindly gifted me this new machine and also a second one for one of my readers! Head over to this post to enter the competition.
Back to the cookies…. and yes I used the Magimix Food Processor to make them. The machine makes light work of mixing up the dough and is perfect if you want to get the kids involved in helping. I always worry about the kids using hand or stand mixers in case they poke their fingers in! But making cookies in the Magimix is much safer as the machine automatically switches off if the lid is removed.
