Clean Eating Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ve been experimenting with clean eating chocolate chip cookies for a while because, well, everyone likes chocolate chip cookies.
They are simple, timeless, and just delicious!
I LOVE chocolate chip cookies and cookie dough. I make them often enough, I decided I need a healthier version with better ingredients.
These clean eating chocolate chip cookies hit the spot and satisfy my cookie craving. My family liked them too!

So you have to use the protein powder or is there any substitute?
I don’t have any plus I’ve tried it in other recipes and I could taste it and did t like it
Thx
Amy
You don’t have to add protein powder, but I highly recommend it. It adds some extra sweetness and flavor! If you can taste it in other recipes, you could try a different brand of protein.

Excited to try these! What brand of protein powder would you recommend?
Amy
I like Vega brand but you can use your favorite brand! Whey or plant based should work just fine.
Alexis
Can you use almond flour instead?
Amy
Yes! Almond flour should work just fine.

What do you think the calorie count is on these per cookie? I followed the recipe minus the stevia. They were delicious! A little oily, but everyone loved them!
Amy
I would probably guess around 250 a cookie? Glad you enjoyed them!

Is it really 1 cup of coconut oil ? Seems like a lot
Amy
Most traditional cookie recipes call for one cup (or two sticks) of butter. I wanted them to be as close to the original as possible! If you don’t like coconut oil, I’d recommend grass-fed organic butter.

Hi Amy, how much stevia/ coconut sugar is needed? Thanks
Amy
Hi! If using granulated stevia, start with a small amount (maybe 1 tbsp) and taste to see if it has the desired taste or sweetness. If using coconut sugar, organic cane sugar, or brown sugar, again start with a smaller amount (maybe 2 tbsp) and taste. Stevia has a more bitter after taste so I don’t like to use a ton of it, but it can give it just a bit more sweetness. Hope that helps!
