Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

I try to keep chocolate chip cookies in our cookie jar all the time. My kids love them. Molasses keeps them chewy and gives them a more brown sugar flavor than most recipes.

  • ½ cup coconut oil

Notes

Sometimes I'll spread the dough into a jelly roll pan and cut them into bar cookies; other times I make traditional cookies. I love them with pecans or walnuts.
Low in sodium.
