Best Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Name: Best Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup unsalted creamy almond butter (well stirred); 1/4 cup almond flour; 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt; 1/2 cup coconut sugar; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 cup chopped walnuts; 1/4 cup rolled oats; 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate; 1 pinch Maldon or flaky sea salt, to sprinkle (optional)

Servings: persons

1 1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted creamy almond butter (well stirred)
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
1 pinch Maldon or flaky sea salt, to sprinkle (optional)

1
Preheat the oven to 375u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, beat together with a large spoon the egg, vanilla, and almond butter until combined. Stir in the almond flour, salt, coconut sugar, and baking soda until smooth. Stir in the walnuts, oats, and chocolate chips, working the dough a bit to get everything distributed evenly (the dough will be thick-that's okay).
3
Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoonfuls and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet.
4
Sprinkle with Maldon salt, if using. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown.
5
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While the texture of these is best on the first day (I like to bake small batches and eat them fresh), they'll keep uncovered at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
