Rustic Chocolate Chip Cookies are simple with a unique flavor. The perfect texture and bite. Dip in chocolate if you like too!
Okay, I need to brag a little. It is a bit uncomfortable but ... these chocolate chip cookies are really really good! They were so much fun to experiment with and I think I got just the right balance of sweetness.
Coconut sugar is used so there is a mild maple/molasses flavor and the whole wheat flour really balances out the texture.
If you want them cakier than like a crispier cookie then don't flatten them as much as I did. You control the thickness when flattening onto the cookie sheet.
Just the perfect little bites for that special moment you deserve.
I don't think they would make it to the freezer in my house so I will have to make a batch and specifically state when they are for company. It might work!
Helpful Tools for Making Rustic Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Baking Sheet - It's not so pretty anymore but I still love stainless steel!
Mixing Bowls - Good old fashioned glass bowls ... used daily!
Cooling Racks - I like the narrower size for storing!

These have me drooling! And now I see they have coconut sugar, they sound even more amazing! YUM.

I am not sure Erin. Coconut flour would make the liquid ingredients different. What flour would you be using?

Do you think changing the flours to gluten free would work for this recipe?!
