For the last couple weeks I’ve been perfecting this “healthier” chocolate chip cookie. I’ve been looking for just the right texture but less of the “bad stuff” in everyday cookies that I love so much.
Be sure to follow Picky Palate on Instagram for sneak peeks on what’s going to the blog!
After tweaking my recipe a half dozen times I finally got it right! Buttery crisp around the edges yet soft and fabulous in the center.
Now, you’ll need to do a little shopping for some new flours. Trust me it will be worth it. You’ll need to get some Almond Meal, which is finely ground almond. You’ll also need Oat Flour which is, you guessed it, ground up oats. The oat flour makes the cookies so light. I am kinda obsessed with it. Both flours are available at your health food grocery store or you can find them on Amazon as well 🙂
Hope you enjoy my newest cookie recipe…..with a little less guilt!
I tried these cookies cooked a couple minutes longer and a couple minutes less to see what I liked best. The ones in the photo were baked 10 minutes. These were my favorite. I did a couple batches at 12 minutes and really enjoyed the crispiness. You choose what you like best.
Note: I baked these cookies twice. Once, right after mixing the ingredients and I then, I baked them after they were refrigerated for 24 hours. The ones in theses photos are the ones that were refrigerated for 24 hours. I highly recommend chilling the dough first. The dough that wasn’t chilled was still delicious, but less visually appealing. More flat and not as pretty. So, there you have it. Be patient and chill your dough before baking them.

Ahhh! These look so yummy! Thanks for sharing.
A healthier version of foods is a nice thing to enjoy because at times total-decadence is a luxury that can not be afforded. So this option allows easier enjoyment of foods, such as this one.

Is the 4 T of coconut oil in a liquid state, soft, or solid?
My kids will love these! They have been begging me for some new treats. Do you think it is possible to make them gluten-free?
