Scroll to the bottom for the abbreviated recipe…

Start of by preheating your oven to 325 degrees F (160 C) and line or spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or parchment paper. Grab a large bowl and mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt and set it aside for a minute.

In a smaller bowl, mix together butter, almond milk, and melt it in the microwave until fully incorporated. Remove from the microwave and add vanilla and the two sweeteners listed and mix until fully combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine. Add chocolate chips and fold them in. (Fold don’t whisk!).

IMPORTANT STEP: stick the cookie dough mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step is vital to allow us to form the cookies later.

After 30 minutes, take the mix out of the fridge and form the dough into the shape of what cookies would normally look like on the cookie sheet. (This cookie dough does not flatten while baking, so balls of dough will stay that way. This is why we shape the cookies before baking)

Bake the cookies for 7 minutes, remove from the oven and let them cool down before removing them from the cookie sheet. If you have a wire rack, you can let them cool down on that rack after letting them cool for a few minutes.

The Best Part…

Now these healthy chocolate chip cookies are ready to eat. They will store in an airtight container for about a week. If you like warm cookies, you can warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating. ENJOY!!!
