Chocolate chip and orange Cookies with 03 Stout Spent Grain Flour

1. Beat the butter, soft brown sugar and sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs, vanilla and grated orange zest and juice and mix thoroughly (you can use an electric mixer).
3. In a separate bowl, mix the 03 Stout Spent Grain Flour, wheat flour, baking powder and salt. Add this dry mixture to the egg and butter mixture and mix thoroughly.
4. Gently fold in the chopped nuts and dark chocolate.
5. Form small balls of dough (50 g each) - flatten the balls either with your fingers or a fork and place them on a baking tray, spacing them 5 cm apart as they will spread during baking.
6. Bake for 10-13 minutes at 190 °C (fan oven) until golden. Be careful not to overbake the cakes; they should be slightly soft and chewy in the centre when cooled.
7. Leave the cakes to cool on the baking tray until set, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Tip

Walnuts can be substituted with other types of nuts, and if you prefer a less strong chocolate flavour, a milder chocolate can be used.
