These chewy and slightly nutty cookies come together in no time. We love to decorate ours with a drizzle of melted chocolate that sets beautifully as the seconds pass, and a generous sprinkle of edible dried rose petals for a special Valentine’s Day treat. You could use dried goji berries or chopped nuts if you can’t find any edible flower petals.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mix together all the ingredients for the cookies in a large bowl until well combined and a smooth dough forms. Scoop the dough using a tablespoon measure, roll into balls, and place onto the parchment-lined baking tray. Gently flatten with your hand as the cookies won’t spread out during baking, so we do this for a nice cookie shape.

Step 3

Bake, until darkened and slightly cracked around the edges, 12-13 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the baking tray on a wire rack to cool.

Step 4

To decorate your cookies, melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Alternatively, place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted and smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the cookies and sprinkle with the rose petals while the chocolate is still wet. Allow the chocolate to set before eating.
