all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: oat flour

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Seeds are often less expensive and nut-free.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, combine 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir briefly until well combined and set aside.

In a larger bowl, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add 1 large egg to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until smooth and creamy.

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the flour mixture back into the wet mixture and beat until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips gently to avoid crushing them.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still a little soft.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
