In the Nordic countries, rågsikt flour is one of the common types in the supermarkets. It’s usually used to make bread or crackers. The rye flour tends to be less chewy than wheat flour, which makes the bakery softer. So I want to experiment with it to make cookies. As I am a devoted chocolate fan, I want to make the classic chocolate chip cookies I have loved all these years with this one.

The result tends to be pretty good. The cookies ended up being soft and not super sweet, yet with a healthy taste, melt-in-your-mouth feel and super rich chocolate flavor. I love using those 70% chocolate chips as they’re not too sweet, so we’re eating more healthy dark chocolate than sugar. If you’re a dark chocolate lover but don’t want to eat those ordinary sweet chocolate chip cookies, I urge you to try this delicious alternative!
