    Chocolate Chip Cookies. Whole grain, low-fat Vegan

    Published: Jun 8, 2012 · Modified: Aug 23, 2018 by Richa 40 Comments

    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! Jump to Recipe   


    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!

      I just love how fast and easy recipe this is. My kids could not stop eating it. They were super soft till day 3. (Then we ran out of it) May be it’s my oven but I baked this for 20 mins instead of 15.

      Hi Richa… After drooling over ur recipes n beautiful food pics i got an oven n finally started trying d various recipes posted by you.. 🙂 🙂 well i have tried dis cookie recipe several times now but dey always turn a bit hard after cooling down n r soft within:( i put sugar n a lil water or nut milk instead of agave nectar n i tried a variant wid strawberry jam instead of agave n dried strawberry n cherry n nuts in it.. D taste of all variants is perfect but they turn hard.. What can i do to make them normal crunchy-soft.. I overbaked a cpl of batches but other batches were normally baked..

        use 1/2 cup wheat flour and 1/4 cup almond flour. that should keep them more moist. Over baking will definitely make them hard since there is limited oil in these. ovens are different too, so bake them 11 to 12 minutes and see.
        also, try this newer recipe instead. you can make changes to that one without much issue. https://www.veganricha.com/2014/02/the-ultimate-chocolate-chip-chunk.html

      I made these a few nights ago and they were lovely! I only used 1 tblsp of Coconut Oil instead of another tblsp of Canola Oil and increased the Non Dairy Milk by another tbslp, they worked very well! I only managed to make around 9/10 small Cookies though, may add a little extra flavouring next time. But either way, thank you for the great recipe! 🙂

      Could 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 🙂

        Hi Jen. I have a wheat-free version here https://www.veganricha.com/2012/06/millet-almond-oat-cookies-with.html
        It 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.

      Made 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!

        Thanks for dropping by! The wet contents are adjusted for whole wheat flour. All flours absorb differently. For a gf cookie. please see https://www.veganricha.com/2012/06/millet-almond-oat-cookies-with.html?showComment=1341131359031 Good to know that they turned out well:)

      I cant believe how good these look and how healthy these are! What a great recipe.
      May use organic Cacao Nibs and claim I can eat them for breakfast since its pretty much superfood meal in a cookie- or 12 😉

        Thanks Heidi. the baking powder makes them rise but keeps them really crumbly because of the low-fat content!

      I’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… 😉

        I 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;)
