These delectable cookies combine whole wheat goodness, rich chocolate chunks, and crunchy toffee bits with a touch of flaky sea salt.

Ingredients: 1 cup whole wheat flour. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup chocolate chunks. 1/4 cup toffee bits. Flaky sea salt for sprinkling.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Melt the butter and mix it with the brown sugar and granulated sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well. Mix the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined. Spread the chocolate chunks and toffee bits out evenly in the dough as you fold them in. Put tablespoon-sized chunks of dough on the baking sheet that has been prepared, leaving a couple of inches between each one. Lightly press down on each cookie and add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each one. Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake it for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way. Enjoy these whole wheat chocolate chunk cookies with toffee that are salted and taste great!

These Ganache Macarons are a delightful treat with a crisp outer shell and a luscious chocolate ganache filling. They make for a perfect dessert or gift for special occasions.

Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour. 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar. 3 large egg whites. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 300F 150C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar. Pulse until well combined, then sift the mixture into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they start to foam. Gradually add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Let the piped macarons rest at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until they form a dry shell on the surface. Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set and have developed feet. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. While the macarons are cooling, make the ganache filling. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly, then refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes, or until it thickens to a spreadable consistency. Pair up the cooled macaron shells based on size and shape. Spread a generous amount of ganache on one shell and sandwich it with another. Repeat with the remaining macarons. Store the filled macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Bring them to room temperature before serving. Enjoy your delicious Ganache Macarons!
