Delicious coconut oil chocolate chip cookies with secret ingredient(digestive blend made of chia ,flax, coconut, pumpkin spices)
My son likes chocolate chip cookies a lot, and he always requests me to make some. And for that reason I make cookies very often. This time for change I wanted to make it with coconut oil. I was planning to use coconut oil in baking for long time, because I love coconut oil and use it in curries, without it I won’t feel it as a curry. As part of #RecipeMakeover challenge I got a sample of Barlean’s butter flavored coconut oil and Barlean’s digestive blend, as decided to try it in baking.
Earlier I had made chocolate chip cookies with spelt flour, but this time since I am using coconut oil and digestive blend in my cookies I didn’t want to make too many changes. Also if I make too drastic changes then nobody will eat it. I need to get my kid’s approval they are chocolate lovers. For them chocolate is best food in the world.
I read coconut oil makes everything crispy when comes to baking. My kids are not crispy cookies fan; they prefer chewy cookies, so I like this recipe of adding cornstarch. My take on this recipe is adding butter flavored coconut oil and Digestive blend which is mixture of flax seed, chia , coconut, pumpkin and quinoa all the good things. I added about 2 tablespoon into the cookie dough, I will increase the amount next time.
One thing I found that cookies have more brown color than the regular chocolate chip cookies; this may be due to brown sugar or coconut oil. I didn’t know but they taste delicious. Both my kids tasted and told me “Mama these are best cookies”. So next time when you plan to make chocolate chips cookies try this recipe using Barlean’s butter flavored coconut oil and Barlean’s digestive blend. Trust me you will love it. Some time healthy touch to dishes may not be boring. So give it a try and let me know.

I feel the butter flavored coconut oil would have masked up the peculiar flavor that coconut oil would other wise give bakes... I am intrigued by the digestive mix... looks good to add to chapathis and cakes too... 🙂 I feel like grabbing that tray of cookies right now. No wonder the kids said they were amazing...

I had seriously considered doing a similar recipe to this one and decided against it eventually. It's nice to know that the Barlean's product substitutions can work out well with a cookie recipe like this. Happy #RecipeMakeover!
