Chocolate chip cookies on a baking stone.

Coconut Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies

Kate Schat
These cookies have a warm caramel flavor due to using coconut sugar. I love it for the flavor and it seems to agree better with my kids' tummies than regular brown sugar.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt halve if used salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until pale. Add eggs and beat. Stir in vanilla.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl first, or just dump them in. I do both ways and it never seems to matter. Stir into wet mixture.
  • Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir in chocolate chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop, place 6 or 8 cookies on each prepared baking sheet. These spread a decent amount for me so don't crowd the pan.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes, flipping pans halfway through. Look for them to have puffed up and fallen, and be lightly golden, to know they are done.
  • Let rest on the baking sheet about 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

Notes

  • I used a 2 tablespoon scoop and got 3 dozen cookies. Using a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop yields about 40 cookies.
  • Try half chopped pecans and half chocolate chips for a pecan pie cookie.
  • Swap out the chocolate for white or dark chips.
  • Using a silpat or baking stone seems to make the cookies spread more than using parchment, so use whatever you are used to baking cookies on.
  • I generally bake with unsalted butter, so if you use salted then cut the amount of added salt in half.
