Here's a healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe I developed. Not completely original, but I tweaked it some.
Hardware:
- Medium mixing bowl
- Large mixing bowl
- hand or stand mixer
- assorted measuring cups, measuring spoons, spatulas
- Cookie sheets
- parchment paper
Software:
- 1/4 c. butter, room temperature
- 1/4 c. canola oil
- 1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. chocolate extract (if not available, use 1 add'l tsp vanilla and call them Double Chocolate ....)
- 1 c. white whole-wheat flour (Or use 1/2 c. whole wheat and 1/2 c. all purpose flour)
- 1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp. Rumford baking powder
- 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
- 4 oz. bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips
- 4 oz. chopped walnuts
Algorithm:
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees, and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In large mixing bowl beat butter until creamy.
- Beat in oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Beat in egg, vanilla, and chocolate extract until combined.
- In the medium bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together; stir into sugar mixture until well mixed.
- Stir in chocolate chunks and nuts.
- Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto cookie sheets.
- Bake 12 minutes, and let cook for one minute on cookie sheet before tranferring to wire cooling rack.
Output:
3 dozen cookies
