Five Crazy Good Chocolate Recipes
Less is often more with chocolate, so let's lock it down to an all-star list of five crazy good chocolate recipes.
Healthful Double Chocolate Cookies
A nut-free (school-friendly), double chocolate version of one of the most popular cookies on my site. Made with a banana-batter, shredded coconut, dark chocolate chunks, and oats. Butter-less, flour-less, egg-less, and potentially sugar-less cookies make great after school, travel, or post-workout treats.
Simple Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies
This is the recipe I use anytime I want perfect sugar cookies. Great flavor, and the dough is a dream to work with.
Triple Ginger Cookies
These are the ginger cookies you want to make. A special triple ginger cookie made with three kinds of ginger and a hit of lemon zest. Cracked and sugar-crusted on the outside, dense and moist within.
Super Tasty, Toasted Almond Sable Cookies
Toasty, nutty sable cookies made with whole wheat flour, sliced almonds, currents and salted butter. And a peek at some of my favorite vintage cookie cutters.
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Made using 100% whole wheat flour and hand-chopped chocolate chips, this is a skillet-baked twist on chocolate chip cookies. Spread the dough in an oven-safe skillet, and bake into a single mega-cookie.
Inspiring Hand-painted Cookies
Hand-painted cookies are incredibly special, and these are some of the coolest.
4 o’clock No-bake Energy Bites
My favorite alternative to energy bars - these are a favorite late afternoon snack. The best part is they're simple to make, and you're in control of the ingredients.
