I just made these today with my 3 yo daughter and they were a hit. I used expeller-pressed CO instead of virgin, but kept everything the same and had no problems. I usually have the problem with the cookies spreading too much but I kept them small and they cooked PERFECTLY. I made them just over a tbs worth of dough then rolled them into a light ball. I did add quite a bit of walnuts so that might have helped too. Adding to my list )

Made these last weekend to take to a lunch – amazing! Love the hint of coconut; perhaps the best chocolate chip walnut cookies I’ve ever had. And you seriously can’t tell they are made with whole wheat at all. I’ll have to try soaking them next time and see how they do. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe

I decided to try and do a soaked version of these I just creamed the butter and coconut oil together and added a couple of heaping tablespoons of yogurt and then mixed in the flour and let it do a full day soak. I added the rest of the ingredients the next day (plus an additional 1/2 c. flour), and they turned out delicious and look beautiful!

We just made these and I think they’re fabulous! Not flat AT ALL. And very moist and gooey – just the way like my cookies. They might just be our new go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe!

Me too!
Some things it doesn’t seem to matter & others it does. But I will continue to work with this recipe (I’m thinking 1/3c each of butter & coconut oil), as all who tasted them agreed they are delicious! Thnx!!

Julie,
They are pretty high fat, but yummy. I wish I knew more about high altitude baking, but I’m totally not helpful! Katie

Been itching to make these & finally did! Unfortunately I’m still having problems with these – but believe it’s due to the altitude (Colorado). They taste *delicious* – but greasy. I doubled the recipe as I need to take some for snack tonight for the girls’ church activity. After the first pan I added 1/2 c. flour and after the 2nd pan another 1/2 c. If that doesn’t do it, I might try reducing the butter/oil (I’ve noticed some high altitude recipes do reduce the fat).
