So what does a girl plan to post on her new blog for the first time? Chocolate Chip Cookies of course!!! Duh! =) Welcome to my new blog – Pure Thyme! Nourish your body with pure food, that is simple and delicious. Find inspiration to have fun, live well, find balance and embrace a more holistic life. I’m super excited to finally get this up and running. I have some really exciting things planned for this place. I can’t wait to see it evolve as I share my adventures in cooking, family life and holistic living. So, how about these cookies? These chewy, scrumptious chocolate chip cookies. They took some tweaking, but I now have my own chocolate chip cookie recipe to add to our family cookbook. They are a new family favorite, so try them for yourself and let us know what you think! You really can’t have enough chocolate chip cookie recipes! 
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1¼ cups sifted spelt four
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoon organic light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
- ⅓ cup grain sweetened or vegan dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick baking mat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flaxseed and 3 tablespoons water and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well.
- In separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients, stir until well mixed.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Place spoonfuls of dough (about 1 tablespoon) on the prepared baking sheet and flatten. Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool.

Hi Dana!!!! Thanks so much, I’m loving the new blog and I can’t wait to post some more awesome stuff! xoxox Jennifer
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. Nevertheless imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the greatest in its niche. Awesome blog!
