The Easiest, Most Nourishing Choc Chip Cookie Ever

July 17, 2013 | After School Snacks, Baked Sweets

The Easiest, Most Nourishing Choc Chip Cookie Ever - This healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe takes minutes to make, is gluten, grain, dairy and sugar free & tastes divine. Try it, you'll be hooked!

This is my idea of the perfect treat. It suits most dietary leanings and takes minutes to make, which is always a bonus. I think it’s the ultimate healthy chocolate-chip cookie recipe.

Truth be known, baking is not my forte. Mind you neither was photography until I put my mind to it and found I really enjoyed it…and there lies the issue. I LOVE cooking, but because I prefer to freestyle in the kitchen rather than follow a formula, baking and I sometimes don’t see eye to eye. I baked a lot as a child (with my nan), but not much as a young adult so I was a bit out of practice by the time I had kids. Luckily my kids are very forgiving…I think they are just happy for something with a little sweetness, even if it looks like a dogs dinner!

Anyway, one rainy Queensland summer, I find myself out of eggs and craving a little deliciousness. With a cakey treat ruled out, I fluked these delights. These beauties (which took a few attempts to perfect) are the best and my kids love them for an after school snack or weekend treat.

The best thing about these cookies is that if you do manage to stop at one or two and wait a while, you will find yourself satisfyingly full. That is of course if you do manage to stop at all!

PS- they can be frozen (which will save you eating them all in one hit).

Health benefits

Well, firstly almonds are a rich source of protein, essential fats, and fibre. They also contain antioxidants and mood elevating amino acids. The coconut oil, by now, you will know how I love thee. You can find out more about its amazing health benefits here. If you add cacao nibs or dark chocolate, prepare for a magnesium boost and an antioxidant hit that rivals green tea.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many dietary requirements.

These really are the easiest, most nourishing choc chip cookie ever. They are also the most delicious!

Ingredients

  • 150 g almond meal (1¼ firmly packed cups)
  • 55 g coconut oil (¼ cup) melted if solid
  • 50-85 g rice malt syrup or honey (¼ cup approx.) taste the batter and alter the sweetness to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla -powder, extract or essence
  • 2 tbsp cacao nibs -or dark chocolate chips, or both
  • 1 tbsp water (must be added or they go flat)
Prevent your screen from going dark

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 150 ℃/300°F (fan-forced). It's preferable to use weight measurements, the recipe will need less adjusting if you do so.
  • In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine all of the ingredients above until just combined (Thermomix 5 seconds, speed 4). Scrape the sides to incorporate the bits around the edge. 
  • **The mixture should be thick and sticky (like in the video below so if it feels very wet, it's important to add more almond meal).
  • Roll tablespoons of the mix in your (wet) hands and place them onto a tray lined with baking paper.
  • Flatten slightly with the back of the fork. The cookies above have cacao nibs through them (I put a little piece of Green and Blacks 85% chocolate on top in this pic too).
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until starting to brown on top. The longer they cook, the crisper they become.
  • Allow to cool fully. They will firm up as they cool.

Store

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Variations

Dairy-free

Just use cacao nibs and leave out the choc chips.

Low-fructose

Use the brown rice syrup and cacao nibs.

Coconut-free

Replace the coconut oil with macadamia nut oil.

Vegan

Choose rice malt syrup to sweeten and cacao nibs as choc-chips. 

Almond-free (aka Nutella choc-chip cookie)

Replace the almond meal with hazelnut meal.

Nut-free

This is not the recipe for you. For 150 pages of nut-free recipes, take a look at my super popular ebook 'The Well Nourished Lunchbox'. Click HERE to find out more and read the rave reviews.

    Can coconut butter be substituted for coconut oil (if melted)? Is the proportion slightly different? Looking forward to making these. They look scrumptious and healthy!

    • Georgia Harding says

      I’ve never used coconut butter so I’m not entirely sure. What you are after is that the ground nuts come together so you can form a ball (coconut and macadamia oil work well for this). You would need to make sure the butter is warm (so it is less solid) I would think. As for proportions, you may need to add it until you can form a ball. I find different brands of coconut butter have varying proportions of oil and flesh so how much you add will largely depend upon the product your using. Good luck and let me know how you go. G x

      Hi Lara, I do make my own, just take care not to over process (or it becomes to oily). The trick is also the tablespoon of water – without it they spread apart. rice malt and brown rice syrup are the same thing so yes! Enjoy, they are one of my most acclaimed and popular recipes, G x

    Hi Georgia. These look brilliant and I’ll probably make a batch for my gluten, dairy and egg free sister-in-law who is breastfeeding and ravenously hungry. I was just wondering what you might be able to suggest as an alternative to almond meal because almonds and dairy have come up in my allergy testing. Thanks for all of your great recipes. I’ve been feeling so hungry since cutting out dairy, but I made your chips and salt and vinegar aioli tonight with yummy fresh fish and I actually feel satisfied. Thank you!

    I did my almond meal in my thermomix and I think I processed them too long and my mixture was a bit runny. I just ground up a handful more of almonds for 10secs at speed 9 and added it to the mixture with a sprinkle more cacao nibs. They turned out beautifully. Thanks Georgia for another great recipe

      Yes, if you process the almonds too long, they start to release a lot of oil. Plus they are generally so much more moist that pre-milled almonds so a small adjustment will be needed. Glad you liked them, G x

      Most likely Cat – also fresh ground almond meal contains a lot more oil. All you need to do next time is either use more almond meal or less oil (so they can be rolled into balls). The joys of whole food baking. G x

    Hi Georgia I’m enjoying trying some of your recipes. I’m also trying to drop a few kilos. I’m keen to have a cookie/biscuit similar to the Chai one on hand for a sweet hit but am keen to limit my calories. It would be great to have a suitable ‘travelling’ biscuit which isn’t stored in the fridge.. From your many delicious sweet treat recipes which would be the best option? Hope I’m not asking the impossible here. 🙂

      Hi Kerry – I don’t believe in lowering calories for weight loss (I believe in more a low carb, high fat approach) – so not to many of my recipes are low in calories. But if I were looking for a good LCHF recipe, this would be it – loads of good fats and protein to sustain and satisfy! I would recommend making it with cacao nibs for the choc-chip rather than regular chocolate too. Gx

      Hi Jenine. The only thing I can think of is if you used freshly milled almond meal (it can release a bit of oil when being milled) so makes for a wetter mix,(I always reduce the fat content in recipes if milling nuts meal myself). Over processing / mixing the batter also can make it wet. Otherwise maybe a mis-measure? I also find that the tbsp of water is really critical for them holding there shape. Hope that helps and that they tasted good regardless G x

    Oh drat! I only realised I needed to buy Black & Gold chocolate once I read the method (it wasn’t listed in the ingredients). I don’t have time to go back to the shops now. Can I just put extra cacao nibs on top? Or some Nutella?

      Hi Sammy – the extra chocolate on top is entirely optional (I did it for the batch in the pic). But yes, any of your suggestions would be fine too G x

    I love this recipe. I have been playing with it for the last month, making different flavours each week for lunch snacks. Kids are loving it. So hard to find a healthy and good gluten free recipe. Coconut and cranberry is a favourite.

    Hi Georgia
    I made these the other day, they tasted delightful and everyone loved them – however mine were as flat as a pancake!
    It’s almost like there was too much oil, but I used the exact measurements as stated.
    I’m going to make them again but trying to avoid the same outcome!
    Appreciate any advice you may have.
    Cheers, Kym

      Glad you enjoyed them Kym – so the oil content of almonds does vary a little (freshly milled is way more oily) so a little more almond meal or less oil is best with fresher meal. Also that 1 tbs of water is really important to stop them spreading so don’t leave that out. Let me know how that goes G x

    Hi Georgia

    Is the oven temp 150 fan forced please? I used 130 in my hot fan forced oven and they took a long time. Still yummy though.
    Thanks

    I’ve tried this recipe a few times and I can’t make mine turn out nice and round like yours in the picture! The batter is quite wet and the cookies spread out to cover most of the tray! The cookies still taste yum, so I’d love to know if you have any suggestions for me and what I could be doing wrong. Thank you!

Also that 1 tbs of water is really important to stop them spreading so don’t leave that out. The batter should form a little ball easily so add more almond meal until that is the case. Let me know how that goes G x

    I just made a batch of these yummy cookies …. just had to try them having seen Georgia’s photo and the great reviews ….. after all, what’s not to love about “easy, nourishing and choc” all in one cookie! I liked the tip about milling your own almond meal – my mixture seemed ok, but they did spread out a bit when cooked, but still looked and tasted fine. They are very moreish and taste a bit like a macaroon – so before the day is out I think I will be baking another batch!! Thanks Georgia for another great recipe.

    Excellent descriptions and absolutely love the idea of the little chocolates on top. By the way I’m only 10 and I tried baking these. Super easy! I think this is one of the best chocolate chip cookie recipes I’ve ever tried and I’ve done about 20. Only thing is that I had to add five mins in the oven but whatever! Still an awesome recipe.

    I hadn’t made these for a year or so due to making nut free treats for school lunches and forgot how delicious they are until I whipped some up today! Used just cacao nibs n they are so good!

    Any way of making it more of a biscuit like crispier .If i reduce the coconut oil will it crumble.I found out it was quite oily though yumm.

      Almond meal always produces a chewy cookie. The fresher your nut meal is, the less oil needed, so this is something that can be adjusted according to the almond meal you use. If you wanted to add some buckwheat flour, that will toughen it u (though I haven’t recipe tested it) G x

    These are a definite sweet-spot hit! I found the honey a bit over powering; will try rice malt syrup next time. Most nutritious choc chip cookie yet!

    I made these with honey and followed the recipe and exactly. I’m not sure what happened but they were an epic fail. They went flat and were way too sweet with 80g honey (I must admit, I added the 80g then read your comment to test sweetness as you go). There’s no rescuing these things! ?‍♀️

      But… I realised they may need more time (I’ve moved and my oven is testing me!) so back in they went for another 10 minutes and they’ve come out rescued! Totally cool time 30 mins!!!

      How strange – these have been really consistent for me. I wonder if you used fresh milled almond meal as this can make them flat. Other than that, I really can’t guess what’s gone wrong sorry. It perhaps could make a crumble over yoghurt?

    A lovely, simple, delicious recipe. I’ve made these a few times and on most occasions, I’ve not had nib on hands and just used small squares of organic dark chocolate on top instead. This version still provides a hint of sweetness that hits the spot. Thank you for another quick and tasty recipe (and great after school snack).
