These are not the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies. These are crumbly, delicious, quick, super addictive, and how I like mine. The crumblier and fatter, the better!
Dont let the not so visible chocolate chips in the pictures fool you. There are like a double layer of choc chips in most of these. There are so many chips in some that the flour barely holds them together ;) Now that is what I call a "Chocolate chip" cookie.
For a Glutenfree version see this Millet Almond Choc chip cookie.
In the name of chocolatey goodness! With the least processed ingredients, limited fat.

The all whole wheat cookies below.
One batch is made with home milled Whole wheat flour(throw some soft white Wheat berries in a Blendtec or other powerful blender:)), and another batch with regular organic Whole wheat flour and a portion substituted with 1/4 cup almond flour.
The crumblier ones in the pictures are with added almond flour.
Thats the chilled dough below. Very crumbly and full of whole grain goodness!
Make them flat cookies. The warmth from your hands will help get the dough together. Keep the preheated oven ready to bake right after all the cookies are shaped.
eat me!
Ingredients: Makes 12 medium fat cookies
2 teaspoons flaxmeal
1 Tablespoon hot water
1 Tablespoon vanilla almond milk (Or a few drops vanilla extract + 1 Tablespoons water/non dairy milk)
1 Tbsp agave/maple syrup
1 Tbsp coconut oil (almost melted)
1 Tbsp organic canola oil
2.5 Tablespoons ground raw sugar( 3 Tbsp for sweeter)
pinch of salt
3/4 cup whole wheat flour ( or 1/2 cup ww and 1/4 cup almond flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking power
1/3+ cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
Method:
In a bowl, add hot water, almond milk, flaxmeal and agave.
Whisk until well combined.
Add the oils and raw sugar, salt, whisk for a minute until well combined. Let sit for 2 minutes.
Whisk again for a few seconds.
Mix the baking powder in the wheat flour.
Add the flour and mix with a spoon or hand. you might have to knead it a bit for the oils to combine well with the flour. If the dough is wet, add a few teaspoons more flour.
Add the chocolate chips, knead to distribute.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes.
The dough will feel crumbly, but will come together when pressed and will smooth out a bit with the warmth of the hands. Some cracks are fine.
Make flat balls. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake in preheated 350 degrees F for 13-14 minutes.
Cool, consume and if possible, leave some for hubbs!

ReplyDeletei would do that too.. you can make these with oat flour, a little extra agave. will work out just fine:)
DeleteThese look super addictive! I don't know that I would be able to save any Chris! I like that the recipe is just for 12 cookies, and I also like that it's low in fat and sugar! Great recipe, Richa!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristy! i like fresh cookies so i usually just whip up a small batch. takes just 10 minutes of work and then bake!
DeleteI'm usually very much against "healthifying" the classic chocolate chip cookie with whole grains and what not, since they're pretty much the ultimate comfort food for me. However, I think I could make an exception for these... ;)
ReplyDeleteI am with you Hannah on healthyfying certain things. but luckily these cookies are not that different. and so much better than what we get in the name of choc cookiesou there these days;)
Deletecrunchy cookies these stole my heart.. cant wait to bake them
ReplyDeleteThanks Anuaha!
DeleteYummy! These look like, pretty much the perfect chocolate chip cookie for me. Mine always turn out too flat, but I love the shape of these ones :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi. the baking powder makes them rise but keeps them really crumbly because of the low-fat content!
DeleteI cant believe how good these look and how healthy these are! What a great recipe.
ReplyDeleteMay use organic Cacao Nibs and claim I can eat them for breakfast since its pretty much superfood meal in a cookie- or 12 ;)
I hear ya. i need to pick up some nibs too! i eat a cookie in the name of washing down my breakfast everyday ;)
DeleteYou have my mailing address, now all I need is a box of these cookies :)
ReplyDeleteThey look soooooo goooooood!

Deletealso, there was another address on the top left corner;) which is open to shipments of some boozy truffles or those berry coconut crumb bars!:).
cookies look sooo perfect...cant wait to try this one...
ReplyDeletenice taste dish
ReplyDeleteMade this recipe-- turned out well. I'm not vegan, so I used dairy milk and normal chocolate chips instead of vegan versions. I also used gluten free flour, and it seemed to be fine. The texture was great, and the dough was not crumbly after coming out of the fridge (the dough was still pretty wet), but they cooked up just fine! The cookies had a crunch on the outside, but were soft inside. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by! The wet contents are adjusted for whole wheat flour. All flours absorb differently. For a gf cookie. please see http://www.veganricha.com/2012/06/millet-almond-oat-cookies-with.html?showComment=1341131359031 Good to know that they turned out well:)
DeleteCould you substitute the wheat flour with something else like rice flour? My son is allergic to wheat, cows milk and a lot of other things under the sun and I'd love to be able to make him some cookies he can eat. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jen. I have a wheat-free version here http://www.veganricha.com/2012/06/millet-almond-oat-cookies-with.html
DeleteIt has millet flour, almond flour, and oat flour. You can subsitute the almond flour with more millet or oat flour for a nut-free version.
