Double Chocolate Cookies

I love sweets. There I said it. And I have a feeling I am not alone. ;) But I also love to find healthier alternatives to get my fix (get it, fix approved cookies, get my fix..ok yeah, I will stop).

I stumbled across these cookies on Fixate, which is an amazing little cooking show that Autumn Calabrese and her brother Bobby put together for our Beachbody on Demand members. You can watch their short cooking show segments OR if you are pressed for time, you can just grab all the recipes they make from the PDF in BOD (Beachbody on Demand). So I definitely can't take credit for this recipe, I must give credit where credit is due....thank you Autumn and Bobby! If you want access to Beachbody on Demand or have access and don't know how to find these amazing recipes in Fixate, let me know! 

Double Chocolate Cookies
1 cookie = 1 Yellow Container

What You Need:
1/4 C extra virgin organic coconut oil, melted
1/2 C unsweetened applesauce
1/3 C pure maple syrup
1/4 C lite coconut milk, canned
1/3 C coconut flour
1/4 C whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat)
1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 C dark chocolate chips, 70% cacao or more (I used 60%) 

Preparation: 
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Coat a baking sheet with non stick spray & set it to the side.
3. Combine wet ingredients, mix well, set aside. 
4. Combine dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder) in a small bowl, set aside.
5. Add flour to the wet ingredients, mix until blended. 
6. Add in chocolate chips, mix until blended.
7. Drop onto baking sheet, a tbsp cookie dropper or measuring spoon works.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm. (Mine cooked for 15 minutes, I would say oven temps vary.)

 

I was a little concerned about the texture when I mixed the two bowls together, because it is thicker but they turned out good! They are not your normal cookie texture and they don't flatten out...but they are yummy! 1 is plenty to curb a sweet tooth.
