Treat your ingredients with care...
- Whole grain flour — Whole grain flour adds a nutty flavor and extra fiber to the cookies. If you prefer a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the whole grain flour with all-purpose flour.
- Nordic rapeseed oil — Rapeseed oil is a healthy alternative to butter, providing a subtle nutty taste. Make sure to use a high-quality rapeseed oil from a trusted source.
- Dried lingonberries — Lingonberries are a traditional Nordic ingredient with a tart flavor. If you can't find dried lingonberries, you can substitute them with dried cranberries or cherries.
Tips & Tricks
- For a more pronounced Nordic flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can increase the amount of honey or use a combination of honey and maple syrup.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their texture and freshness.
- These cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of hot lingonberry tea or a glass of cold Nordic-style oat milk.
- Experiment with different types of dark chocolate, such as those with higher cocoa percentages, to find your preferred level of richness.
Serving advice
Serve these New Nordic Chocolate Chip Cookies warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for enjoying with a hot beverage or as a sweet treat after a Nordic-inspired meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the cookies on a rustic wooden platter and garnish with a sprig of fresh lingonberries or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
