Choc-chip cookies are undisputedly the most loved cookies around the world. So, including this iconic gem in our range with an allergy-friendly, indigenous twist that will leave its humble beginnings in awe was a must.

When we say chocolate chips, we mean lots and lots of them. Every bite of this shortbread, melt-in-your-mouth cookie is bursting with an array of the finest plant-based dark chocolate chips. It seemed only fitting that we teamed this cookie with the equally famous Wattle Seed.

Wattle Seed has been a mainstay of the diet of Indigenous Australians for over 40,000 years. Wattle Seed can survive harsh weather conditions and, historically, was a valuable source of protein and carbohydrates in drought. Aboriginal women would collect the pods and parch the seeds with fire before grinding them into flour to be mixed with water and made into cake. Wattle Seed must be considered the unsung hero of Australian native foods, as it is a very rich source of protein. It is a low glycemic food, which releases its sugars slowly and can be used by people with diabetes to help maintain blood sugar levels. Wattle Seed also contains high potassium, calcium, iron and zinc concentrations.

The Wattle Seed used in Cooee Cookies is grown on Yorta Yorta Country (Victoria)
