If you are ready to try the best chocolate chip cookie recipe made with coconut oil, look no further. Seriously, everyone I have shared this recipe with raves about it. They are absolutely one of the easiest and best chocolate chip cookies you will ever make and eat. So let me show you what to do so you can get baking.
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
1. With an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat coconut oil, butter and sugars together until fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
2. In a small bowl, mix flours, baking powder and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until a soft dough is formed. Don’t over mix the dough, or the chocolate chip cookies will be tough.
3. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
4. Refrigerate dough at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
6. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop chocolate chip cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-15 minutes, until cookies are golden brown around the edges, but still soft inside.
When my husband saw that I was using coconut oil he was skeptical, he does not like coconut. When they were done I could taste a hint of coconut but the cookies were soft, chewy and delicious. The true test came when my husband tried them. He did not mention any taste of coconut but did say they were absolutely delicious and helped himself to a few more.
