It's Christina here, and well... I LOVE COOKIES! I especially love ooey gooey chocolate chip ones. The kind that when you break them in half the chocolate strings like the cheese in a grilled cheese. I love the smell, the taste, the crunchy outsides and soft insides. Yep, I love it all!
I tried to come up with a recipe that was a little healthier than normal chocolate chip cookies, but still delicious. I tried these cookies out on a group of guys and dolls, and they were a hit! So today, well I guess tonight, I am going to share with you my recipe for delicious (not AS bad for you) chocolate chip cookies!
What You'll Need:
(Makes anywhere from 2-3 dozen)
1/2 cup Earth Balance
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 TBLSP ground flax or chia seeds
3 TBLSP water
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tsp hot water
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together the TBLSP of ground flax or chia seeds with the TBSLP of water and put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
3. Cream together sugar and butter.
4. Add vanilla extract and flax/chia egg and combine well.
5. Next, dissolve the baking soda into the hot water, then add the mixture and salt to the sugar batter and mix well.
6. Blend in flour and cream of tartar until there are no clumps.
7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) to the batter.
8. Scoop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes of until golden brown.
9. Take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before moving them.
Enjoy!!! :)
