Ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 stick melted butter
1 teaspoon orange zest
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
10 ounces chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees . Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir together olive oil, melted butter, orange zest, and sugar; beat with a wooden spoon until well combined. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and sea salt; stir dry ingredients into olive oil mixture, then stir in chocolate chips. Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon dough onto each prepared baking sheet; repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies about 3 inches apart. Bake until cookies are set, about 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Remove cookies from oven and let cool 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Fat from Olivia oil or coconut ,unrefined, would be great, but a stick of butter? I may use a couple tablespoons at most. Also, a lot of sugar for a so called healthy recipe. I would use just the brown sugar and add some stevia. Add some applesauce for rest of fat. Can also scale back on chocolate chips, using mini's gives you chocolate in each bite with using less over all :) Chopping your dark chocolate chips up too :)Try using a grater to grate walnuts or macadamias into recipe too.

I think these look great. I'm going to give them a try. Fat is good for you if you use moderation. In fact metabolizing food requires it. Sugar not so much so this is a once-in-while "dessert".

You obviously are not a baker, it there is not some fat in the dough it will turn into a cracker and a pretty dry and hard one at that. The saturated fat is coming from the chips. Besides, you are not suppose to eat a bunch of them.

I don't think butter and olive oil are necessary. The saturated fat is 5 grams!
