Ingredients
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. First, mix together the butter and the stevia, until creamy. Then add the egg, and mix together.
3. Mix in the milk protein with buckwheat flour and stir until a smooth dough is formed.
4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
5. Heat the raspberries in the microwave, or in a small saucepan on a low heat. Season to taste with the FlavDrops. Then stir in the Chia seeds and leave on the side until it's set, similar to a jam texture.
6. After the dough has been refrigerated for 30 minutes, separate into small balls about 3-4 cm in diameter. Place on a tray lined with baking paper. Press a small hollow with your finger in each ball. In these holes, add a small amount of the chia jam.
7. Then place in the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes until the cookies are golden brown.
8. You can store these in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container.
