Soft Batch Choc Chip Cookies

I was recently visiting my sister in Australia and finally got try one of the blondies she’s always telling me about. They were delicious!

I tried making them as soon as I got home, and being a big fan of cinnamon (I’m known to add it to all sweet treats), I decided to add some cinnamon to the blondie recipe. This slight tweak to the recipe made the blondies remind me of my favourite soft batch cookies as a kid!  I was so excited as I’ve been wanting to find a healthy soft batch chocolate chip cookie recipe for ages. I will definitely be making more of these!

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor except for chocolate chips. Mix should be smooth.
2. Transfer mixture to a bowl, add chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 mins.
