Delicious whole-wheat chocolate chip cookies made with natural ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ⅓ cups (146g) whole-wheat pastry flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup packed coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup melted unrefined coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup creamy natural almond butter
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside.
- Combine coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, egg, egg yolk, salt and vanilla, whisk until mixture is smooth and no lumps remain, 30 seconds. Let mixture stand for 3 minutes then whisk vigorously for 30 seconds and rest for 3 minutes. Repeat process of whisking and resting 2 more times, ending with resting, until mixture is thick, fluffy, smooth and shiny. Whisk in almond butter and beat until thick, 1 minute.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir in flour mixture (reserve ½ teaspoon flour to toss with chocolate chips) until nearly combined. Toss chocolate chips with reserved ½ teaspoon flour to coat; add chocolate chips to dough and mix just to combine.
- Working with 3 tablespoons (#20 scoop) dough at a time, roll into balls and space 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
- Chill sheets with dough balls for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 375ºF with rack set in middle position.
- Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies are golden brown, puffy, and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft, 12–14 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking.
- Transfer sheet to a wire rack, sprinkle cookies with sea salt, and cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (best within 3 days).
Notes
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or spices.
