Chocolate Chip Cookies – Guilt Free & Kid approved
Who doesn’t LOVE Chocolate Chip Cookies? I do.
The only thing I don’t particularly love is the fact that my Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe starts with 4 sticks of butter. Don’t get me wrong, the ultimate chocolate chip cookie is hands down my FAVORITE cookie creation I have ever made. I just wanted something “healthier”. Now if you read my blog, you know about my disasters that have happened when cutting the butter in a baking recipe, but this one works. I promise. I tested it this weekend on 8 adults & 14 kids. All thumbs up!
It’s absolutely DELICIOUS and KID-approved. This recipe has NO-Butter… so what is the substitute then?
Coconut Oil!!! With 100’s of benefits from coconut oil, you can indulge without guilt and feel good about giving these cookies to your kids.
EVERY SINGLE cookie was eaten within the hour.
