Trick Yourself With Chocolate Chip Cookies
By Carolin
Welcome back!
I can’t help myself. I really enjoy well made sweets and cookies.
The sneaky chef promotes tricking your kids and husband by hiding healthy stuff in their favorite food.
Why only trick them? I’m perfectly happy to trick myself with the foods I like. Here is a recipe with healthy chocolate chip cookies with white beans. Not only does the recipe cut down on fat and flour it adds one if the best foods: beans.
Beans in cookies?
Yeah, I promise you won’t know the difference.
I make mini versions of these cookies, inspired by one of The sneaky chef’s recipes, stuff them in the freezer and take the out one at the time. Prefect treat for me or for the kids lunch boxes.
Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

> Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove butter from refrigerator to let soften.
> In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
> In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars until creamy. Beat in egg yolks, vanilla, and pureed white beans. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed. Stir in chocolate chips.

This is a first for me, beans in cookies! I do think I will try them though since they are lower in sugar than most recipes. Great for my diabetic spouse. Thanks for sharing.
They taste great Nancy.
I made chocolate cookies with spinach the other day too. It might sound crazy but they were yummy.
If you’re looking for low sugar treats, try chocolate chip banana muffins. If you use really ripe (over ripe) banana’s you can you don’t need any sugar at all.
Chocolate chip cookies are always liked by everyone. Making it more healthy is a nice way to mix health benefits with taste. Tasty and healthy chocolate chips cookies with milk make a great evening snack. Thanks for sharing this yummy treat.
