A confession: my bad habit is eating desserts for supper on weekends. I try to make up for it by eating healthily through out the rest of the week. It has worked okay so far, and in my normal state-of-being ( not pregnant ) I am quite slim by figure. ( And I do hope to get back to that some day! =)
Last night after a walk I enjoyed herbal tea with soy milk, and home-made chocolate chip cookies. I make my cookies huge, so I don´t feel as guilty eating "only" four... There are still many left, and I will pamper myself by enjoying a sweet Sunday evening accompanied by the rest of the cookies...

| Frozen toes also love the fiery heat! |

| I often fine-tune dessert recipes one click more to the healthy side. These cookies were made of whole grain spelt flour, instead of regular white flour. |

| Wood burning fireplaces are our main source of heat in winter. It helps us save money on electricity bills, and because the firewood is local, also the environment. |
The recipe:
5 dl wheat flour (I used whole grain spelt flour)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon seasalt
230g (vegan) margarine
1 1/2 dl sugar
1 1/2 dl muscovado/raw cane sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (sugar)
4 dl (vegan) dark chocolate roughly chopped
a little water if needed
+ Whip together margarine and sugars. Mix together flour, soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the margarine and sugars. Add a little water if the mixture is too dry. Spoon in chocolate chips.
Place tablespoon-sized chunks of the mixture onto a baking sheet (leave plenty of room for it to spread in the oven) and bake at 175 Celsius for about 8-11 minutes.
The cookies are very sweet, just the way I like my desserts to be! I´ve never understood people who say something tastes too sweet. What does that mean?!
