I took my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and packed it with super foods. You get vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with the cocoa nibs and walnuts. Fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids with the flax and chia seeds, and healthy MCT fats in the coconut oil. These cookies are an easy way to treat your kids (or yourself!) with a great tasting dessert that provides nutrition and still satisfies your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup ground flax seeds
- ¼ cup cocoa nibs
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Beat brown sugar, coconut sugar, butter, and coconut oil with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into creamed butter mixture until completely blended; beat in vanilla extract with the last egg.
Step 3
Stir hot water and baking soda together in a small bowl until baking soda is dissolved; stir into butter mixture. Add cream of tartar and mix well.
Step 4
Mix flour into butter mixture until dough is smooth; fold in walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, cocoa nibs, and salt. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned around the edges, about 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Cook’s Note:
White sugar can be used in place of coconut sugar.
