Blueberries are both healthy and great tasting. I altered this original recipe by adding a bunch of them, along with some dried cranberries and some yogurt for butter. They are still big and chewy and super yummy but healthier as well.

Time 22m

Yield 12 big cookies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup margarine (room temperature)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup milk, of choice (I`ve used soy and rice)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Move oven rack to slightly above middle and turn oven on to 375°F In one bowl, sift dry ingredients together and set aside. In another bowl, beat margarine with brown sugar, then add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix until just combined. Spoon 12 batches on the greased and foil-lined cookie sheet and, with a water-wet spoon, spread out and push down the batter to the height of the chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes, careful not to overbake - Cookies should be soft and will harden a little bit after being cooked. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack after 1-2 minutes of taking them out of the oven. Best eaten warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cacao.
  • 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 develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. This will help the cookies set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These healthier chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're chewy, chocolatey, and oh-so-delicious. Plus, they're made with wholesome ingredients, so you can feel good about eating them. So next time you're craving a cookie, reach for one of these healthier chocolate chip cookies instead. You won't be disappointed!
