Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
I try to keep chocolate chip cookies in our cookie jar all the time. My kids love them. Sometimes I’ll spread them into a jelly roll pan and cut them into bar cookies, other times I make traditional cookies. I love them with pecans or walnuts. Molasses keeps them chewy and gives them a more brown sugar flavor than most recipes.
 |
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup coconut oil
1 cup sugar
⅔ cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
¼ cup molasses
1 TBS vanilla
3 cups plus 3 TBS whole wheat flour (I use fresh ground soft white wheat)
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp Kosher salt
2 cups dark chocolate chips (1 12-ounce bag)
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
 |
mixing bowl
cookie sheet
measuring cups/spoons
 |
Preheat oven to 400° degrees F (200° degrees C)
Chop nuts
 |
Cream the butter, coconut oil, and sugars. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla. Mix well.
Add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow to cool for 1 hour.
Drop by heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheet 2-inches apart.
Bake at 400° degrees F (200° degrees C) until just light golden – about 8 to 10 minutes.

yum! i made some pretzel m&m ones…ok not really healthy but tasty!
Is the coconut oil listed separately, or can you do 1 cup fat, 1/2 butter, 1/2 coconut oil…. thanks so much!
Should be 1/2 butter and 1/2 coconut oil. Sorry – I’ve corrected the recipe. Thanks for pointing that out!
I love that trick – everything stays so much moister than with only butter! :)
These sound tasty to me!
Love the healthy twist on these cookies, I’m a big fan of white whole wheat flour. The molasses is a great addition!
I’d love to have you stop by and share this recipe on Sweet Tooth Friday. http://alli-n-son.com/2011/03/31/toffee-snickerdoodle-cookies/
Hi Halle,
These are heavenly tasting!
What would I have to do to get a batch of these sent out here since Gregg is back home?

Send me your address. :-) I’ll get a Christmas package out.
