According to the National Day Calendar, 4 August is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Ha ha! Why not, I say. On a trip to Melbourne a few years back, I became acquainted with cacao nibs. Yum. So this week I tried using cacao nibs (described variously as a 'superfood' and a 'nutritional powerhouse') instead of chocolate chips in these choc chip cookies. Delicious! And a fun new texture.
2 heaped tablespoons icing sugar
200 g flour
0.5 cups ground rice or cornflour
100 g cacao nibs
Cream butter and sugar, add other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Roll into balls and flatten slightly. Bake at 150 degrees C until a delicate brown.
Makes about two dozen. Store in an airtight container.
