35 m 2Ingredients
- 1 c. walnut butter
- 1 c. dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. honeybush tea leaves for brewing
- 1 tsp. honeybush tea leaves, crushed
- 1/2 c. hot water
- 2 1/2 c. old fashioned oats
- 3/4 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/3 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 1/4 c. chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat over to 375°F.
Brew 1 tsp. tea in 1/2 c. water and let steep 5 min. Strain and allow to cool. Measure out 1/4 c. brewed tea.
In a bowl combine the oats, flour, crushed dry tea leaves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl beat walnut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla together.
Beat in the egg and 1/4 c. brewed tea. Make sure the mixture is well beaten.
Add chocolate chips and part of the dry ingredients. Begin mixing again and add the rest of the dry ingredients a little bit at a time, just until combined.
Drop small rounded spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the dough to about 1/2" thick.
Bake at 375° for 10-12 min. Do not over-bake.
Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container, but they are best the day they are made.
