These are the best cookies I have made and eaten so far, so soft, chocolatey that it melts in your mouth. Very easy and quick to make

One of the best cookies I have made. The sweetness is perfect not too sweet and the texture is soft, little chewy with melt in the mouth chocolate.

Hi Lucy, you could substitute the flours for plain flour, however we have not tested the recipe like this. You may find the mixture could have a slightly wetter consistency when trying to shape the cookies. Happy baking! the dh team

Hello, can you substitute the flours for plain all-purpose flour?
Zita Evans
Can I use GF flour instead of the wholemeal spelt and buckwheat flour?
