Cinnamon chocolate chip cookies

The weather is finally becoming what it should be here- fall! Today it rained, yay! The garden was drying out and I was starting to worry about the new strawberry plants we planted, but now they are getting enough rain for sure. In the meantime posts are developing for fall on my Dutch blog and now I have some time over to work here! Gees, is anybody still looking? I have been up to something in the kitchen- good vegan food that makes me so grateful for all the joy it brings! The smells of spices are now often hanging in the air in this house. I often use ginger and cinnamon in the fall, probably because it's warming and strengthens the immune system.

1 cup spelt flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sucanat
70 g chocolate, cut in small pieces

3 tbl virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup soy milk

Preheat the oven to 356 F/ 180 C

Sieve the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Melt the coconut oil on low heat. Turn the heat off. Add the milk to the oil and stir.

Pour the oil and milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together. Then using your hands, knead and form a dough. Knead the chocolate pieces into the dough.

Roll small balls from the dough and place them on a baking sheet which is lined with baking paper. Flaten the balls into neat round cookies.

Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake the cookies for about 15 minutes until the cookies are golden brown underneath. Take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Lift them off the baking sheet and leave to furthur cool on a wire rack.
