The BEST Healthy Cookies: Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Make these healthy chewy chocolate chip cookies in one bowl with coconut sugar, coconut oil, nut milk and dairy-free chocolate chips! Plus, we've rounded up some of our favorite healthy cookie recipes!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Bob's Red Mill blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour
- 2 tsp paleo baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup maple sugar, (or coconut sugar)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, room temperature, (use ghee if you need to avoid cononut, just note it's not Vegan)
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup dairy-free chocoloate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, salt and maple sugar.
- Using a fork, cut the solid coconut oil (or ghee) into the the mixture until crumbly. Stir in the non-dairy milk and vanilla until a dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips. I just use my hands to mix them in because it's a pretty thick dough.
- Roll dough into 12 balls, about the size of an oversized golf ball, and place on lined baking sheet.
- Transfer to oven and bake for about 12-14 minutes. The edges will start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet. Store in an airtight container on the counter.
