Chocolate Cookies without Butter

If you’re looking for a recipe for chocolate cookies without butter, I can suggest an equally delicious version that uses oil as a substitute. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

• 200 g of all-purpose flour
• 100 g of sugar
• 1 large egg
• 80 ml of vegetable oil (you can use sunflower or corn oil for a neutral flavor)
• 50 g of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 100 g of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (you can choose from dark, milk, or white chocolate)

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix the flour with the unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Make sure there are no lumps.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until you get a light and fluffy mixture.
3. Gradually add the oil, continuing to stir to incorporate it well into the mixture.
4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix until you have a uniform dough.
5. Add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the dough and gently mix until evenly distributed.
6. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using two spoons or slightly damp hands, form small mounds of dough and place them on the sheet leaving a bit of space between each one, as they will spread during baking.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for about 10-15 minutes or until the edges begin to turn slightly darker.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

Curiosity

Chocolate cookies have always been a classic treat in homes around the world. The butter-free version is great for those looking for lighter alternatives or for those with food intolerances or dietary restrictions. With the use of oil, you will get cookies that are slightly softer and with a different flavor than the classic buttery cookie, but still very delicious.
