Ingredients for a Healthy 5 Ingredient Cookie Recipe
Creamy Peanut Butter: I love to use the creamy version of peanut butter. This makes the texture perfect. If all you have is the crunchy kind, that will work too.
Egg: I typically use a real egg in my cookie recipes. However, if you have an allergy or are vegan, try using a flax egg. If you want to learn how to make a flax egg and other food swaps for food allergies, check out my free Food Swap Guide.
Coconut Sugar: I prefer coconut sugar in this recipe. However, you can also swap it for a tablespoon of maple syrup.
Baking Soda: I like to make sure my baking soda is aluminum free. You don't need much to make these cookies rise beautifully.
Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips: I love the brand Enjoylife for my mini chocolate chips.
