August 4th is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Since it is also Inspire Friday, here’s a ‘healthier’ recipe to satisfy your craving without completely wrecking your diet.
Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yields: 12 cookies, Prep Time: 15 minutes, Cook Time: 10 minutes mins,
Ingredients
• 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
• 3 tbsp (45mL) unsweetened vanilla almond milk, room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup (96g) coconut sugar
• 1 cup (120g) white, whole wheat flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp (28g) dark chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp (14g) miniature chocolate chips (divided)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, milk, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the coconut sugar. Add the flour mixture and sprinkle the baking soda evenly over the flour (to prevent clumps). Stir in the flour and baking soda just until incorporated. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and ½ tablespoon of miniature chocolate chips. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
3. Drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon and a spatula. Slightly flatten using a spatula. (The cookies should spread some if there isn’t too much flour in the dough!) Gently press the remaining miniature chocolate chips into the tops. Bake at 350°F for 9-12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
