An easy and yummy choc chip cookie recipe with Australian native wattleseed!
Australian wattle trees are not only gorgeous to look at, but some varieties also produce edible seeds that, once roasted, can be used in cooking to add an incredible flavour to both sweet and savoury dishes.
This is a fun recipe to make with kids but be warned – you will eat A LOT of cookies!!! The yummy addition of wattleseed adds an extra chocolate and nutty flavour to an old classic and is a great way to introduce Australian native ingredients to your family.
Happy baking!
