Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Description
The Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe is crafted from a well-balanced mix of sugars and fats, including the option of coconut oil or butter. Incorporating applesauce adds moisture that helps maintain chewiness without greasiness. The dough is gently blended to ensure even distribution of baking soda and salt, which lift the cookies for a tender bite. Baking at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes results in cookies that hold softness while reaching a slight firmness on the edges. Folding in sugar-free chocolate chips provides rich pockets of flavor. A final optional topping of sea salt adds a pleasant savory note that complements the sweetness.
This cookie recipe is suitable for those managing sugar intake who want a soft chocolate chip cookie experience with a dense yet chewy texture. The method includes careful mixing and optional slight water addition to adjust batter texture, ensuring consistent chewiness. Cooling for five minutes on the baking sheet allows the cookies to set without losing their tenderness.
These cookies work well as a snack or dessert paired with milk, coffee, or tea. Their chewy nature makes them satisfying for those who prefer a softer bite over crisp edges. The balanced sweetness and chocolate-salt combination make these cookies a flexible addition to home baking.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (no packed)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter, melted)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (sugar-free such as Lily's (3 oz total))
- salt optional for topping, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and stir to blend.
- In another bowl, whisk the sugars, oil, egg, applesauce and vanilla together until light and fluffy.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by level tablespoons about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with sea salt if using, and let them stand 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the pans to cool on wire racks.
