Bakery Chocolate and Berries Cookies
"Cooking and spending time in the kitchen is such a joyful and therapeutic time. It’s the time of me catching up with… myself, my thoughts, doing some thinking, contemplating, planning ahead and calling my family and friends. Don’t ask me why, but I do tend to get quite excited about healthier recipes. I think many of us do have this tendency nowadays to opt for healthier eating. We do need to indulge ourselves but yet choose healthier ingredients and ways of cooking our food for a healthier us. It’s also a bit of fashion, right?"

Preheat the oven at 190°C/Gas Mark 5/375°F. Prepare an oven tray lined with greased or ungreased baking sheet.

Using an electric freestanding or hand mixer, beat the butter or coconut oil with sugar together until light and slightly fluffy.

In a separate bowl combine the oats with the flours and the salt. To this also add the baking soda and the soda bicarbonate combined with the vinegar or lemon juice.

With the help of a teaspoon shape the mixture into little clusters and place on the baking sheet in the prepared tray leaving tiny spaces (approximately 1 cm) between cookies.
-
Optionally once you have gone through half of the mixture add 3 to 4 tablespoons of desiccated coconut to the remaining half so you could have Sam with coconut if you fancy.
