Deep, spiced molasses meets nutty chocolate crunch in this Thermomix favourite, great for gifting.

There's something about the smell of molasses and spice drifting through the kitchen that instantly says "cosy season." These spelt and molasses cookies take that nostalgic base and dress it up; a dunk in melted chocolate, a roll through crushed nuts, and suddenly a humble cookie becomes something worth putting on a plate for guests (or hoarding for yourself, no judgment). The spelt flour gives them a lovely nutty depth and slightly chewy bite, while the molasses keeps things rich and warmly spiced without tipping into overly sweet. Quick to mix, easy to shape, and even easier to disappear.

Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside a strong coffee or spiced chai for an afternoon pick-me-up

Pile onto a rustic wooden board with dried fruit and extra nuts for a grazing-style dessert table

Pair or sandwich with a scoop of vanilla or salted caramel ice cream for an easy dessert

Wrap in cellophane bags tied with twine for edible gifts or market stalls

Crumble over yoghurt or ice cream as a textural topping

Serve warm with a glass of mulled wine for a festive gathering

Pack a few into lunchboxes for a not-too-sweet treat

Do

1: Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with paper.
2: Place oats, spices and salt into Thermomix bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 10.
3: Add remaining ingredients except chocolate and nuts and blend 10 sec/speed 5.
4: Roll mixture into balls (approx 16) and flatten slightly using your fingers.
5: Bake 10 minutes until dark just cooked around the edges. Remove and cool completely.
6: Drizzle or dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate and then into crushed nuts.
7: I used pistachios for their brilliant colour, I whizzed them 3 sec/speed 6 and then put them through a sieve so that I got rid of the dust which tends to look less pretty on the cookies.
