Best Chocolate Chip Cookies (Healthier + Soft and Chewy)
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 15 cookies 1x
Description
These bakery-style chocolate chip cookies are just about everything you could want in a cookie. They’re ultra thick, soft and the best part… they’re healthier than most classic cookies but are still loaded with flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour (180 g; unsifted)
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 shakes cinnamon (optional)
- 1 stick butter, softened (see notes above)
- 1 cup packed coconut palm sugar (207 g)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips + 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder; set aside. (We recommend using a kitchen scale for your flour).
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and coconut palm sugar until smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Stir in the egg, mixing well. Stir in the vanilla and chocolate chips. Gradually fold dry mixture into creamed mixture, being careful not to overmix batter. The dough is meant to be thick, so there’s no need to worry!
- Drop large spoonfuls onto lined baking sheet (should yield about 15). We recommend using a cookie scoop. Loosely form them into shapes but don’t compress. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown. (Time may slightly vary depending on size of cookies and color/thickness of the pan you use).
- Store leftover cookies between parchment paper, in an airtight container. Cookies will last 2-3 days at room temperature and up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
Achieve the right butter consistency by softening it to room temperature, allowing a slight thumb indent without easily squishing through.
Ensure proper creaming by letting the butter and sugar blend for 2-3 minutes on medium speed, introducing enough air into the batter to aid in cookie leavening.
Always check for FfL-friendly ingredients.
We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
