Tim Spector's Pecan Chocolate Cookies
This recipe come from the “Food for Life Cookbook” by Tim Spector. When he came in to the studio and made them for us they were promptly d...evoured. They taste really indulgent - gooey, chewy and chocolatey - but are full of good-for-you ingredients. The better your chocolate, the better your cookies will be. Go for a high quality option with at least 70% cocoa solids. Read more This recipe come from the “Food for Life Cookbook” by Tim Spector.

Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mix the milled flax and water. Set aside to soak for at least 15 minutes. It’s essential that the flax and water bind together, becoming really gooey, to guarantee the correct result.
Place the soaked flax, brown sugar and extra virgin olive oil into a mixing bowl. Mix to combine.
Add the ground almonds, pecan nuts, dark chocolate and a light sprinkle of salt and stir to combine.
Shape into 12 balls. Flatten slightly and place onto your prepared baking tray. It helps to do this with wet hands.
Place into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely on the tray.

Have faith! They come together well and are very tasty. Great little sweet treat.
Yummy and easy
Good recipe. Seems a little lacking without any nut butter. But equally like a cookie without nut butter! Delicious as always. Thank you!
Really tasty and easy to make
Fantastic, they didn’t last long 😋 Even better that they were a healthy cookie 🍪!!
Definitely will cook again. Delicious
It took time to chop all ingredients up but worth it as delicious healthy snacks!
Really satisfying and sustaining. Liked slightly chewy texture. Used cacao nibs for ease which worked well.
Nice but I’d use half the amount chocolate and won’t add salt next time as they tasted very salty
Very easy to make though
yummy
Tasty and easy to make. Will be making again for sure. I didn’t chop up the dark chocolate enough and they kinda overwhelmed the cookies so next time I would probably use a little less.
