How to make the best healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe that yields delicious soft and chewy cookies.

Provided by Chocolate Covered Katie

Categories     Dessert

Time 19m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup oat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
4 tbsp regular sugar, (unrefined if desired)
1/3 cup chocolate chips, (or more if desired)
optional 1/3 cup chopped nuts
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp vegetable or melted coconut oil
3-5 tbsp milk of choice, (as needed)

Steps:

  • Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe: Preheat oven to 380 degrees. Combine dry ingredients and mix very well. Add wet, and form into a big ball. Now make little balls from the big one. For soft cookies, refrigerate until cold (otherwise, just bake right away). Bake 9 minutes. Remove from oven when they're still a little undercooked, then it's important to let cool 10 minutes before removing from the tray, as they'll continue to cook while cooling. They should have spread out, but every now and then they might not (climate plays a huge role in baking), so just smush down with a spoon if needed. You can also choose to make extra cookie dough balls and freeze them to bake at a later date. For softer cookies, store in a lidded plastic container. For crispier cookies, store in a lidded glass container.View Nutrition Facts

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don't use chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper to get even-sized cookies every time. And that's it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that's textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
4 oz dark chocolate chunk, or your preference

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies will be. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cocoa solids.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are golden brown on the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. Letting the cookies cool completely will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These healthier chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and satisfying treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are made with wholesome ingredients and are lower in sugar and fat than traditional chocolate chip cookies. These cookies are perfect for a quick snack or a sweet dessert. They are also great for packing in lunches or taking on picnics. Whether you are a chocolate chip cookie lover or just looking for a healthier snack option, these cookies are sure to please.
