we all need a cookie once in a while.

and these are just TOO good.


It's been a while since i've made real chocolate chip cookies.
ok, ok...
you caught me.
you want the truth?
i've never actually made real-homemade chocolate chip cookies.
(that worked, or in other words, didn't end up in the garbage.)
i know,
i'm admitting to my amateur cooking right now.

i've bought the store-bought dough before...
and we've eaten those.
(and maybe that's what i would make to take to friend...on my own plate of course!)
but quite honestly, i get a little intimidated by baking.

but since THRIVE has greatly improved my cooking confidence,
i thought...
"what the heck, i'll bake!"

so here you go, best cookies we've EVER had at our house!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup THRIVE white sugar
1 cup THRIVE brown sugar, packed
3 THRIVE whole eggs, rehydrated
(3 Tbsp powder + 6 Tbsp water)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon THRIVE baking powder
3/4 cups THRIVE white flour
2 cups chocolate chips or chunks

Preheat the oven to 350 F

In a large bowl, whip butter. Add sugar and brown sugar. whip together for about 5 minutes
Slowly add prepared eggs, while constantly stirring the mixture. Add vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Blend well.
Sift in flour and gently stir to incorperate. Increase speed and blend for another 5 minutes. Mix in chocolate chips.

place portions on greased cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.

Bake for 8-12 minutes or until cookies turn golden brown.

Enjoy.

  1. Yum Marci!! Hey and if you haven't compared our THRIVE butter powder, with real butter...I dare you to compare! Check out the difference in the fat content of 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of THRIVE butter...LOVE IT! Now bake with THRIVE butter, and the only thing you are missing is the greasy fingers when you pop that cookie in your mouth! Tell me what you think!
