Light + Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are light, fluffy, and still packed with that rich chocolate goodness we all dream about. They are an absolute must-try for everyone in the family.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white (optional for added fluffiness)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps keep those cookies from sticking and makes clean-up a breeze.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir it up until everything is well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg white (if using). Whisk it well to combine those flavors.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until it all comes together. Be careful not to overmix—just combine well enough!
- Fold in those chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. Who doesn’t love a big bite of chocolate?
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Give them some space because they will spread out a bit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center will look a bit soft, but don’t worry, they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
There you have it, folks! A deliciously light take on chocolate chip cookies that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without weighing you down. So, what are you waiting for? Get in that kitchen and start baking!
