Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies satisfy the taste buds with a luscious blend of flavors.
Rich dark chocolate and sweet cookie dough adds depth to the flavors of the traditional chocolate chip cookies we all love.
Traditional cookies are carb bombs with too much sweet. Replace the milk chocolate with a true dark chocolate chips for a gourmet twist that also makes them a tiny bit better for you.
Add these high energy snacks to the lunch box, backpack and cookie jar. Choosing a true dark chocolate with over 70% dark chocolate adds antioxidants to your cookies.
Dark chocolate has lots of great health benefits. Learn more in This article by Healthline. Use Dark chocolate chips rather than milk chocolate chips in these cookies to add nutrients and bring down the sugar (a little).

Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:
These dark chocolate chip cookies will be noticeably less sweet. but much richer and SO good. This recipe is blended to give you a really nice flavor mix of the sweet cookie dough and rich deep dark chocolate flavor only a really good dark chocolate can offer.
Do NOT bother buying a bag labeled dark chocolate chips with less than 70%. And keep your eye on the sugar content of the chips. you want a less sweet high dark chocolate content chip.
Dark chocolate chips with under 70% dark chocolate is basically a marketing ploy. Read the label. Fill your dark chocolate cookie recipe with the full benefits of deeply dark chocolate.
Healthier Ingredient Options:
We don’t consider these cookies health food. You can replace the sugar with coconut sugar or maple syrup to bring down the glycemic level of these cookies. Or use your favorite sugar free sweetener.
I have never used almond flour for this recipe. but we had great success with almond flour in these Almond Flour cookies. If you do try almond flour in these cookies please let us know how you did it.
In. the past, I have added 1/4 ground flax meal for extra fiber and replaced the butter with 3/4 Cup coconut oil for healthier fats. The cookies turned out great.

I got them home and realized the ingredients are exactly what I warn you all to stay away from! Always read the label! I really knew better! But they were cute! I was in a hurry, and they make cute, tasty cookies! So I made them. Here’s an upgraded version of this recipe. The coconut oil and organic sugar help digest these little dolls. Use organic eggs and flour and these cookies get even better! Your kids will love them. So will you! If you are looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe with organic dark chocolate chips and maple syrup try my Deliciously Dark Chocolate Chip cookie Recipe. […]
