Can these chocolate chip cookies be made healthy?

Well, they always say sugar is sugar and always assume that all desserts are treated equal, but if you really pay attention you can find ways to make your favorite desserts healthier. Here is a list of ways you can make these cookies healthier for you and your family.

• Use real sugar – Read the ingredients. If it doesn’t say cane sugar on the package, it could be genetically modified beet sugar. Even brown sugar should say cane sugar and molasses on the ingredient label.
• Use unbleached flour – without added synthetic vitamins. Synthetic vitamins are not natural and in return, they do not properly absorb into your body. I strongly recommend this unbleached flour.
• Use organic chocolate chips with minimal ingredients.
• Use real butter – Skip the margarine and read the label. Did you know some butters have natural flavor in them? Opt for brands that only use cream and salt.
• Do not use imitation vanilla – Make sure it is a pure vanilla extract like this one.
• Use unbleached parchment paper – I never knew they bleached parchment paper to make it white. Thanks to Off Grid with Doug and Stacy I learned that not all parchment papers are created equal. Choose all natural parchment paper.
• Use Celtic Sea Salt – Celtic Sea Salt is from my knowledge the most beneficial salt on the market. It has almost all of your essential minerals unlike regular table salt.

Can I use fresh milled flour in this recipe?

Yes! They won’t be exactly the same, but it can be done. Use good quality wheat berries and let the dough sit on the counter for an hour before baking. This give the flour time to absorb the liquids and soften up the wheat.

Here are a few tips to help you make the most delicious chocolate chip cookies ever!

• Pack your cookie scoop with dough. Make sure you don’t skimp on the cookie dough balls.
• Lightly flatten the dough balls before baking. I’ve noticed this helps with the cookies baking evenly.
• Check the cookies at 8 minutes, this ensures that the cookies do not burn.
