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 & 1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour (unsifted)
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 4 shakes cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 stick butter, softened (see notes above)
- 1 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda; set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and coconut palm sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg, applesauce, vanilla and chocolate chips. Gradually fold dry mixture into creamed mixture, being careful not to overmix batter. Place bowl with batter in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Drop large spoonfuls onto lined baking sheet (should yield about 18). 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, in the refrigerator.
