Weetbix chocolate chip cookies - VJ Cooks (2024)

I really love the texture of theseWeetbix Cookies. The crushed Weetbix and rolled oats give the cookies a chewiness and softness that make them incredibly moreish. This is a great recipe to get younger kids to help out with. My boys love helping to mix as well as popping a couple of extra chocolate drops onto the rolled mixture at the end.

Most of the ingredients are pantry staples. I really like the shape and flavour of these Milk Chocolate Drops for these cookies. However, you could use chocolate chips or chopped chocolate if that's what you have in the cupboard. Even dried apricots or craisins would be delicious. Weetbix is a breakfast favourite for many Kiwis and Aussies. Sometimes it is called Wheat Biscuits or in the UK Wheetabix.

How to make Weetbix cookies:

Preheat the oven to 180°C fanbake. Mix together the softened butter, oil, white sugar and golden syrup in a bowl. Add the milk and mix again. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the oats, salt and crushed Weetbix. Mix to combine.

Lastly stir through the chocolate chips. Next, line a baking tray with baking paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture out and roll it into balls, flattening slightly on the tray before baking. I like to make mine a heaped tablespoon size. I also love to add an extra few chocolate drops or chips to the top before baking.

Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes (depending on your oven) and remove when golden brown and still a little soft in the centre. Cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.

Common questions about Weetbix cookies:

Can I freeze this cookie dough? Yes! I like to freeze them pre rolled and flattened. I store them in a zip-lock bag for up to three months in the freezer. You can even bake these from frozen just add a few minutes longer if you don't have time to defrost.

How long will these cookies keep for once baked? Weetbix cookies will keep well for up to a week stored in an airtight container.
