Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Yield 26 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
4 ounces dried cranberries or dried cherries

Steps:

  • Evenly position two racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (If you have only one baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.)
  • Whisk the sugars, eggs, oil and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk the flours, salt and baking soda in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon; take care not to over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips and dried fruit.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared pans. Wet hands slightly and roll the dough into balls. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on the pans. Bake until golden but still soft in the center, 12 to 14 minutes, depending on how chewy or crunchy you like your cookies. Transfer the hot cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool. Serve.
  • Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup raw sugar
½ cup coconut sugar
½ cup coconut oil
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  • Mix water and ground flax seed together in a bowl, creating a "flaxegg"; set aside until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Beat raw sugar, coconut sugar, and coconut oil together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; add pumpkin puree, flaxegg, and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Pour pumpkin mixture into flour mixture and stir just until dough is combined; fold in chocolate chips and pecans. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a small ice cream scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned around the edges, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

STUPID EASY TRIM HEALTHY MAMA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Stupid Easy Trim Healthy Mama Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by paulmartinjr

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup softened salted butter
1/3 cup Gentle Sweet, DIY Gentle Sweet (my pick), or low-carb sweetener of choice
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray two baking sheets with coconut oil baking spray. Set aside. Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sweetener. Add eggs one at a time, beating for one minute and scraping the bowl after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Add almond flour and baking soda and mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula. Use a tablespoon-size cookie scoop to portion out 18 cookies, dividing them between the two prepared pans. It's alright if they're fairly close together because they won't spread much. Bake cookies for 7 minutes, then rotate pans top to bottom and front to back and bake for 7 minutes more. Cool on pans for five minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two months.

ALMOST HEALTHY AND SURPRISINGLY GOOD CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Almost Healthy and Surprisingly Good Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I made this recipe based roughly on a few recipes I found and several of my favorite healthy ingredients. Don't want to talk it up too much, but the outcome was a pleasant surprise. My family liked it too, and none of us are the type of people to substitute flavor for health. It does have a few ingredients that you might not find around your kitchen (like chia or diatomaceous earth), even though they are good, healthy foods or supplements that should add to the health value. But I don't think it'd be too hard to omit them or replace with something of similar substance. I would not advise skimping on the chocolate chips. If you like darker chocolate, all the healthier, but I say get your favorite kind of chocolate chips, no matter how unhealthy. I'll also add this does not make a very good dough. If you're the type of person who make chocolate chip cookies as an excuse to eat cookie dough, stick to the old tollhouse recipe. Make sure the diatomaceous earth is "food grade." There is a non-food grade which you don't want to eat! Chia is a very healthy seed that has its roots in Aztec and other native cultures and is only now being grown in quantities enough for people to take it as a supplement. It's the same seed that you put on your chia pet, but you can get supplement chia seed at your health food store. Chia seed, when soaked, absorbs six times its weight in water. To make chia gel, put 1/3 cup of chia in a jar with 2 cups of water. Let soak overnight. You can add this healthy chia gel to all sorts of things for an extra health boost: mayonaise, jelly, eggs, cookie recipes, etc. This recipe calls for 1/2 cup chia gel. You can make just that amount or more, if you might use it other places. It will keep for a couple weeks in the fridge.

These will be THE LAST peanut butter chocolate chip recipe you try! YUMM. These taste really sinful, but they are actually healthy for you. I adapted this recipe from the classic nestle one.

I hope you enjoy baking (and eating) these as much as I do.
