Ingredients

• All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups (190 g)
• Rolled oats (optional) – 1/2 cup (45 g)
• Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
• Salt – 1/4 tsp
• Unsalted butter (soft) – 1/2 cup (115 g)
• Brown sugar – 1/2 cup (100 g)
• Granulated sugar – 2 tbsp
• Egg – 1 large (or flax egg for vegan)
• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
• Moringa powder – 2 tsp (start small)
• Chocolate chips or chopped nuts – 1/2 cup (optional)

Step-by-step

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment.
2. Step 2: Whisk together flour, oats (if using), baking powder, salt, and moringa powder in a bowl.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
4. Step 4: Fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips or nuts.
5. Step 5: Scoop tablespoonfuls onto the tray, flatten slightly. Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are golden.
6. Step 6: Cool on the tray 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Store in an airtight container.

Pro tips

• Don't over-scoop the moringa — start with 2 tsp for subtle flavor and color. Increase slowly if desired.
• Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes if it spreads too much during baking.
• Use a mix of brown and white sugar for chewiness with crisp edges.
