Welcome to DAY 17! Today we are making the BEST, most THICK, but also HEALTHY Chocolate Chip Cookies. Now I know this is quite the claim to make, but I have been testing “healthy” cookies for a long time now and a problem I’ve always run into is that they do not taste as advertised.
Most low-calorie cookies don’t taste good. Instead of helping your craving, they only leave you wanting for more. And so this is what inspired me to learn the science of baking. Your body requires adequate nutrition and your baking requires certain ratios and rules to be upheld.
So today we’re using science to elevate the nutrition, without losing the flavor / texture / or ESSENCE of what makes these cookies great!
