I have a huge sweet tooth. This sweet tooth is partial to cookies - any type of cookie. I will make a double batch of Nestle Toll House cookies with dark chocolate chips and they will be gone before the week is over. I might need an intervention.

Now I don't have to feel guilty about eating cookies. These chocolate chip cookies have absolutely no added sugar (besides the chocolate chips) but taste like a sweet little treat. I bet you can't eat just one! Oh and did I mention that these are dairy free as well?!

Recipe by a traveling Wife
Cook time: 10-12 minutes
Yield: 12 cookies
Nutrition per cookie: 116 Calories | 15 g Carbs | 6 g Fat | 1 g Protein | 5 g Sugar

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup Butter, at room temperature
  • 1 medium Banana, extra ripe and mashed
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour (also works well with whole wheat flour)
  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chip Morsels, or dairy free alternative
  • 1/2 tablespoon + Water, as needed to thin out dough
Cooking Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Whip butter with a stand mixer then add in mashed banana and vanilla extract.
  3. Slowly incorporate the flour and baking powder until well mixed.
  4. Mix in the chocolate chip morsels.
  5. If dough is too dry, add water 1/2 Tablespoon at a time.
  6. Place one tablespoon of dough on cookie pan and flatten slightly.
  7. I noticed that the cookie would not flatten out during the baking process. If you don't want balls of cookies, I suggest you flatten them slightly.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes then allow to cool on cookie rack.
  9. Enjoy with milk
