These are not the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies. These are crumbly, delicious, quick, super addictive, and how I like mine. The crumblier and fatter, the better! Jump to Recipe
Dont let the not so visible chocolate chips in the pictures fool you. There are like a double layer of choc chips in most of these. There are so many chips in some that the flour barely holds them together 😉 Now that is what I call a “Chocolate chip” cookie.
For a Glutenfree version see this Millet Almond Choc chip cookie.
In the name of chocolatey goodness! With the least processed ingredients, limited fat.

The all whole wheat cookies below.
One batch is made with home milled Whole wheat flour(throw some soft white Wheat berries in a Blendtec or other powerful blender:)), and another batch with regular organic Whole wheat flour and a portion substituted with 1/4 cup almond flour.
The crumblier ones in the pictures are with added almond flour.
Thats the chilled dough below. Very crumbly and full of whole grain goodness!
Make them flat cookies. The warmth from your hands will help get the dough together. Keep the preheated oven ready to bake right after all the cookies are shaped.

These are not the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies. These are crumbly, delicious, quick, super addictive, and how I like mine. The crumblier and fatter, the better!

- Add the oils and raw sugar, salt, whisk for a minute until well combined. Let sit for 2 minutes.
- Whisk again for a few seconds.
- Mix the baking powder in the wheat flour.
- Add the flour and mix with a spoon or hand. you might have to knead it a bit for the oils to combine well with the flour. If the dough is wet, add a few teaspoons more flour.

- Chill the dough for 15 minutes.
- The dough will feel crumbly, but will come together when pressed and will smooth out a bit with the warmth of the hands. Some cracks are fine.

I’m usually very much against “healthifying” the classic chocolate chip cookie with whole grains and what not, since they’re pretty much the ultimate comfort food for me. However, I think I could make an exception for these… 😉
I am with you Hannah on healthyfying certain things. but luckily these cookies are not that different. and so much better than what we get in the name of choc cookiesou there these days;)
These look super addictive! I don’t know that I would be able to save any Chris! I like that the recipe is just for 12 cookies, and I also like that it’s low in fat and sugar! Great recipe, Richa!
Thanks Kristy! i like fresh cookies so i usually just whip up a small batch. takes just 10 minutes of work and then bake!
