(Lower-Fat) Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Lower-Fat) Chocolate Chip Cookies

AuthorJulie
Yields1 Serving
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
2 Tbsp. golden syrup, honey or maple syrup
2 tsp. vanilla or maple extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1

Preheat oven to 325°F.

2

In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until well combined — the mixture will have the consistency of wet sand. Add egg, corn syrup and vanilla and beat until smooth.

3

Add the flour, baking soda and salt (stir them together first only if you want to) to the butter-sugar mixture and stir by hand until almost combined; add chocolate chips and stir just until blended. It may seem dry at this point - I always find it easiest to get in there with my hands toward the end.

4

Drop spoonfuls of dough (or roll rough walnut-sized balls) about 2” apart on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Flatten each a little with your hand, just to give them a head start. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until pale golden and set around the edges but still soft in the middle. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
