The magic ingredient is brewers yeast, a by product of beer making, an excellent source of B vitamins and protein. It must be BREWERS yeast, not BAKERS yeast. The other one is linseed or flaxseed meal, they are the same thing, and is high in Omega 3. Both these things are available in most supermarkets or healthfood shops. Keep in the fridge or freezer.

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons linseed (flaxseed) meal
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup or more chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of brewers yeast(be generous)
You can also add some dried fruit if you want, raisins, sultanas, cranberries, chopped apricots etc.
