I made these rocking flourless double chocolate chip cookies not too long ago and oh my word YUM.
However, they definitely are not the healthiest in the world. They are what got me kicked into gear to re-create myself a healthy and gluten free chocolate chip cookie.
Let’s be honest we all need healthy chocolate chip cookies in our life, right? Here is why.

The night I pulled these together I ate so much dough and cookies,I actually did skip dinner. Cookie dough that has zero eggs in it is dangerous. There is nothing stopping me from demolishing every leftover dough bite. Or lets be real, spoonfuls of dough.
Take our healthy cookie dough for a whirl if you desire. 😉 *Yes I have a problem with loving cookie dough too much*
These gluten free cookies can most definitely be made with normal flour if desired, they are very similar to my original Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies I made a couple years back.
We are going to have to create a new Top 5 Healthy Cookie recipe list because these babies deserve a spot. Should I make 4 more cookie recipes to help join the newest addition of cookie heaven?
Hecks yes.
Yes, I just responded to myself.
I love excuses to make cookies. Cookies are so easy to make in terms of prep and within 15 minutes you can enjoy them with a large glass of milk. Or my favorite is with a cup of tea. Is that odd? R seems to think so.
He also thinks that dark chocolate is the nastiest thing in the world though, which I highly disagree with. I actually made a batch with 100% unsweetened bakers chocolate and he happily ate an entire batch with that chocolate by himself without one acknowledgement they had super bitter chocolate in them.
Told you dark chocolate is delicious. Wife is always right.
PEANUT FREE ALTERNATIVE TO THESE COOKIES – You can use sunflower butter in replacement of the peanut butter. Beware that SOMETIMES sunflower butter can turn green after baking. For some reason it doesn’t happen to us everything single time. It’s actually nothing to worry about and they are perfectly safe to eat this way.. actually they are fantastic alternative to making green cookies for holidays without food dye!
I need some rich dark chocolate in my life. Those antioxidants need to assist my body on repairing itself. We’ve for some reason (I’m a glutton for punishment) signed up for a half-marathon one month from now. My shoulder is holding up, however the rest of my body is screaming at me.
Between the long runs for training and cookbook editing I’m making an executive decision and deciding I truly have earned these healthy chocolate chip cookies.
My other executive decision is that you do too. <3
Don’t believe me? See for yourself just how easy these healthy chocolate chip cookies are to make!

2. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

6. Mixture will be slightly sticky. Drop the dough onto baking sheet by the Tablespoon.
7. They were not spread out during being baked so make sure you have them looking the way you want them to look. I personally like to flatten them and make them more of a circle cookie.
8. Bake them for 8-11 minutes or until they have risen and are golden brown.
White sugar plus molasses. A combination of white sugar and molasses is your best bet for a brown sugar substitute, as that's exactly what brown sugar is made of (1). ...
But whilst we'd love to answer this with a resounding yes, the answer is more of a maybe. Depending on the recipe, and more specifically how much refined sugars they contain vegan cookies probably aren't the healthiest option when it comes to a sweet treat.
Simply being on these diets and consuming the products that fall under that category does not mean you are eating healthy. For example a Gluten-Free cookie is no healthier than a regular cookie and in either case they are both seen as a treat that you should enjoy on occasion.
Mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of molasses to mimic a cup of light brown sugar. Mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of molasses to mimic a cup of dark brown sugar. If you don't have molasses on hand, you can combine white sugar with another liquid sweetener, like maple syrup or honey.
For basic baked goods like sugar cookies or pound cake, using maple syrup or honey instead of sugar lends the finished product a little extra flavor. You'll need a little less of these sweeteners for your recipe—just ¾ cup of maple syrup or honey replaces a full cup of granulated sugar.
Almond flour is a grain-free, protein-rich flour that lends well to cookies, cakes, and more! Almond flour is made from blanched almonds, meaning without skins (as opposed to almond meal, which is made from raw almonds with skins). This is why it has a fluffy, light texture and pale golden color.
Oat flour is best for cookies and quick breads, though you can use it for other things in combination with other gluten free flours. When making yeast bread, you'll need extra yeast to make the dough rise, and other recipes need about 2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder per cup of oat flour.
Using xanthan gum helps provide some of the stickiness that gluten free goods lack, replacing some elasticity. Xanthan gum mimics some of gluten's most essential properties by sticking to flour and its moisture. This helps create moist goods that hold their shape after being baked.
While not entirely organic, Simple Mills makes some of the healthiest cookies we found. The ingredients here are very clean, in addition to being grain-free. The flour is a blend of nuts, the fat is coconut oil, and the sweetener is coconut sugar.
If your cookies call for cold butter, use a solid vegan butter stick, solid coconut oil or coconut butter. If your cookie recipe calls for melted butter, use melted coconut oil, olive oil or applesauce.
Gluten-free flours often contain fine starches, so they absorb more liquid than conventional flour. To address this, gluten-free recipes usually call for more liquid and produce looser batters. They may also call for a larger quantity of leavening, like baking powder, to help add volume and lighten the texture.
Although gluten-free products are proven to be beneficial for those who need them, they're not any healthier than those that contain gluten. And while following a gluten-free diet is safe, keep in mind that any diet that relies heavily on processed foods is unlikely to result in any health benefits.
Yes, pure, uncontaminated oats are gluten-free. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration considers oats a gluten-free grain under its gluten-free labeling regulations and only requires that packaged products with oats as an ingredient contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten overall.
Is brown sugar necessary for cookies? Most chocolate chip cookie recipes use a mix of brown sugar (for added moisture and chewiness), and granulated sugar (for that slight crisp on the edges of a cookie), but it is not necessary.
Brown sugar, meanwhile, is dense and compacts easily, creating fewer air pockets during creaming—that means that there's less opportunity to entrap gas, creating cookies that rise less and spread more. With less moisture escaping via steam, they also stay moist and chewy.
Maple syrup offers a delicious caramel, toffee-like flavor, making it ideal for fall treats like pumpkin bread or oatmeal muffins. To use it in baking, use ¾ cup maple syrup per 1 cup of white or brown sugar, says Ziata.
