Ingredients

1 tin

Of Wattie's® Four Bean Mix in Springwater 400g

1/4 cup

Cocoa powder

1/2 

Of Gregg’s® cinnamon

1/2 tsp

Of Gregg’s® nutmeg

1/4 tsp

Salt

1/4 tsp

Baking powder

1/2 cup

Peanut butter (smooth)

1/3 cup

Pure maple syrup

2/3 cup

Chocolate chips of choice

Instructions

Step 1

Drain 1 can of Wattie's Four Bean Mix in Springwater and rinse well with water.

Step 2

Pat beans dry with paper towel and pulse in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Step 3

Add blended beans, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, peanut butter and maple syrup into a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined into a dough. Gently fold through chocolate chips, cover dough and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 170°C (fan forced).

Step 5

Using an ice cream scoop or your hands, roll chilled dough into 5cm balls and slightly flatten with the palm of your hand, and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Flatten cookies to desired thickness and fudginess, ensuring a 3-5cm radius between cookies, but the cookies hold their shape (*see tips below). Add additional chocolate chips on top if desired.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until slight cracks form on top.

Step 7

Let cool for 20 minutes and then enjoy!

Tips: The fudginess of the cookie will depend on the thickness of the dough prior to baking- a taller cookie will be more fudgy compared to a flatter cookie. If using cookie cutters, omit the chocolate chips or add at the very end for a little festive touch.

Cookies can be baked in the oven, in the air fryer for 10 minutes or as a large cookie in a skillet on the stove. If baked cookies aren’t your thing, these can be eaten as edible cookie dough.
