Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 0.25 cups Coconut sugar
• 0.25 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt, then set it aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and coconut oil with the brown sugar and coconut sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and the egg to the wet mixture. Whisk until well incorporated and smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using). Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown, and the centers look just set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your healthier chocolate chip cookies, warm or at room temperature!
