Real Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sweet, salty, and irresistibly chewy, these cookies swap refined sugar for coconut sugar to deliver a rich flavor. A pinch of Real Salt elevates the classic chocolate chip cookie, and a sprinkle of flake salt while they’re warm adds the perfect salty finish.
Ingredients:
-
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
-
1 ¼ cups coconut sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp. baking soda
-
1 tsp. Real Salt Fine
-
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
-
1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
-
2 cups chocolate chips
-
Real Salt Sundance Flake (available at Redmond Farm Market), or other finishing salt of your choice
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and coconut sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, Real Salt, and optional cinnamon.
-
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet on low speed until just combined; do not overmix.
-
Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula.
-
Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake 8–11 minutes until edges are golden brown.
-
Sprinkle warm cookies with Real Salt Sundance Flake. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Is coconut sugar like our granulated sugar? Does it react the same way in our bodies as granulated sugar?
I have to be careful w the granulated sugar.

Hi Jane. Coconut sugar isn’t the same as granulated sugar, but it’s not completely different either. It has a lower glycemic index, which means it may raise blood sugar more slowly, and it’s less processed, with a natural caramel-like flavor. That said, it still contains sucrose and affects blood sugar, so if you need to avoid added sugars entirely, coconut sugar may not be the right fit for you.
Was that 2 regular 1/2 cup sticks of butter, ie 1 cup total? They look like the shorter sticks in the picture.

Thanks for the question, Rita. Yes, we used ½ cup sticks of butter. So 1 cup total in this recipe. Sorry for the confusion.
Could you please provide oz or tbsp for the butter? We don’t buy traditional-sized stick butter.
