If you’re anything like me, your sweet tooth reigns over everything. Never will I choose a savory snack over a sweet one, ESPECIALLY if it involves cookies. Cookies have been my absolute favorite dessert since I was little, and still today I can’t resist a warm, gooey, chocolatey cookie fresh out of the oven.
Throughout my fitness journey, I have attempted to perfect tons of different “healthy” cookie recipes – and before you ask, I’ve made the oats/peanut butter/banana cookies more times than I can count. But sadly, none of the replications I have tried have come close to tasting like a “real” cookie. That is, until I made these double chocolate chunk cookies.
This recipe uses many healthy ingredients such as whole wheat flour and cocoa powder and a few unhealthy ingredients (I’m looking at the massive amount of chocolate chips I throw in). And the best part? This entire recipe is completely dairy free and vegan – and I PROMISE you won’t be able to tell. These cookies are huge, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth decadent while not being overly rich. Next time your chocolate cravings come in heavy – PLEASE try this recipe!
