Ingredients
1 cup white whole-wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup coconut oil, melted, ½ cup warm water, ⅓ cup unsalted smooth almond butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ⅔ cup vegan chocolate chips, preferably bittersweet.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted coconut oil, warm water, almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. 4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips. 5. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. 6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

These vegan chocolate chip cookies strike a balance between whole-food ingredients and indulgence, using some whole-wheat flour and plant-based fats. However, the added sugar, refined flour, and coconut oil lower their overall health score, making them a better choice for occasional treats rather than everyday consumption.
