The BEST Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I’ve been making these easy Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies for YEARS, and they’re still one of my favorite recipes! Soft, chewy, and full of gooey chocolate chips, they taste just like classic chocolate chip cookies but are made with a handful of simple, better-for-you ingredients. They’re perfect to keep on hand for an afternoon snack, lunchbox treat, or healthier dessert. Trust me, you’ll want to make a double batch!

Equipment

Baking Sheet

Ingredients

4 Tablespoons coconut oil softened
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup oat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Pinch of sea salt optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened coconut oil until smooth. Add the egg, honey, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the oat flour and baking soda until a soft cookie dough forms.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Gently flatten each portion with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm!
