Sorry for the delayed response! Just soft like softened butter, but not liquid.
Love these cookies! I have made them twice now, both times I have done a double batch and replaced the eggs with mashed banana, it makes them peanut butter, chocolate chip, banana cookies! Super delicious!
Looks amazing. I love cookies for breakfast!
Have you tried freezing these? They look great!
I haven't, because they were gone too quickly 😉 Great idea though, I'm sure they would freeze well!
I made these tonight – so good! I loved the texture and taste!
Hi
These looked so delicious, I couldn't wait to hunt down Chia seeds so used sesame instead. Yum yum! I have a small baby and when she sleeps I loveto bake and decorate for some me time. Your book is so beautiful and although my house and garden and clothes are not nearly as glamourous as you guys I try to create a little beauty in a small way each day -your book is an inspiration. thank you.
Will you do a winter cook book as well? I live in the UK so the winters are l8ng and an injection of beautiful food and yummy mummy dom is necessary for survival!
Hi! I get so excited to have UK readers 🙂 Thank you! Oh, and my house and clothes are very unglamorous most of the time – toys everywhere, stained clothes… you know how it goes 😉
Hi, just made these, and I really like it as a healthy snack. I think I expected something more dessert-like initially, just because usually things with the key words like PB+chocolate+cookie tend to be like that – and too sweet for me. I like that I can eat these without feeling like I overdosed on unhealthy things – its perfect for me. Thanks for sharing!
