A simple and delicious recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies made without butter, using coconut oil for a unique flavor and perfect texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) melted coconut oil, cooled
  • 1 cup (200 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil (warm, not hot), brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, whisking well after each addition until glossy and slightly thickened.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  10. Enjoy warm or store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Use melted coconut oil that is warm but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs. Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender. Chill dough for 15-30 minutes if cookies spread too thin. Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free chocolate chips. For gluten-free, substitute with 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
