Creating cookies from scratch don’t always need to be time intensive. These 5 ingredient cookies are simply delicious, with no fuss in the kitchen, and made with simple ingredients that you may already have on hand in your pantry. They are low in saturated fat and sugar and high in selenium, thiamin and vitamin B6. They were a hit with the family so much that I should’ve made a larger batch. So yummy. Healthier than most. And a two thumbs up!

 

 

SERVES: about 12-15

 

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1 egg, large and pasture raised

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

In a bowl, either a hand mixer or stand up style, cream in the butter and sugar together until fluffy.

Add in the egg until incorporated.

Stir in the flour in halves with the sea salt and chocolate chips; do NOT over mix otherwise it will be tough.

On a ungreased cookie sheet, or silpat scoop about 2 tbsp onto the sheet. Slightly space the cookie in between each other to fill out.

Place in oven and let bake for about 10-12 minutes, at 350 degrees, or until golden brown around the edges while the middle slightly under cooked for softness.
