Easy, Crispy & Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 50 chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients:

1. 100g flour
2. 25g Grahams flour or whole wheat flour
3. 1 tsp vanilla powder
4. 1/2 tsp baking powder
5. A dash of salt (optional)
6. 50g sugar consisting of 35g brown sugar and 15g granulated sugar
7. 50g fat consisting of 25g butter and 25g olive oil
8. 1 egg
9. 1 TBS Nescafe coffee powder (optional)
10. 50g chopped walnuts
11. 50g chocolate chips

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, add and stir all the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla powder, Nescafe coffee powder and salt.

2. Mix in the butter into the dry ingredients with your hands so that it becomes very small crumbs.

3. Add in the olive oil and egg to form into a dough. 

4. Add in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts and mix well.

5. Weigh 10g of dough for each biscuit. Form into a ball and press down into a round flat biscuit-shape.

5. Bake in a pre-warmed 160 degree Celsius oven for 10 minutes or until cooked.

6. Let cool before serving. When it is cooled, it will harden.

Additional information:

This chocolate chip cookie recipe is relatively easy, healthier and quicker to make compared to the typical chocolate chip cookies recipes. It is adapted from the Danish Summer sweet biscuits called kammejunker. It contains only one-third amount of sugar compared to most other chocolate chip cookie recipes, but it is sweet enough. You also don't have to beat the butter and sugar. You don't have to beat the egg. You don't have to refrigerate the dough. You don't have to add cornstarch. It is still tasty and decent - not cakey. If you like chewy chocolate chip cookies, then this recipe is not for you.

Additional Information:

Still in love with banana bread. Little FECS got this recipe from the Føtex supermarket. It's Danish constitution day today, a national holiday. So we baked this in the morning. It turned out very delicious, but a bit on the soft side. The original recipe asks for 40 g of chocolate chips. I have reduced it to 30 g and the cookies were still fully infused with chocolate chips and very sweet. The original recipe asks for 30 g of almonds, but I increased it to 40 g.

1.  3 (300-350g) large ripe banana smashed

2. 1 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)

3. 2 full cups (200g) rolled oats

4. 1/2 cup raisins

5. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

6. 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 130°C / 270°F.

2. Mash the bananas well with a fork or a food processor.

3. Mix well all the ingredients into a large bowl.

4. Press and squeeze tight and form into bite size cookies and flatten.

5. Bake for 30 mins or until golden.

6. Cool and serve.

Additional Information:

I have some over-ripe bananas and decided to make them into banana & oats cookies. It can keep in an air-tight container for 4 days. I divided the dough into two and added 1 tablespoon of honey to the other half. The half without honey tasted sweet enough for me and Baby FECS. She ate a lot of it. So actually I don't need to add honey to sweeten it.
