Easy chocolate chip cookies are generally not the healthiest option due to their sugar and butter content, but they can be enjoyed in moderation as a treat.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED CHOCOLATE CHIP CRESCENT COOKIE RECIPE

Ingredients:

Chocolate of your choice (white, milk, or dark)

Toppings/fillings of your choice - ideas at the end!

Instructions:

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll Ride or Die into crescents, then bake for 11-13 minutes. Let cool completely.

2. Microwave chocolate for 45 seconds in 15-second intervals.

3. Pull cookies out of the oven. Let cool, then dip in melted chocolate.

4. Refrigerate for two hours. Pull out of the fridge and devour.

Topping Tips:

If you’re feeling a little wild and crazy, kick this easy cookie recipe up a notch or five! Here are some topping ideas to really bring it all to the next level.

Crushed nuts complement the chocolate: try adding nuts to the dipping chocolate before refrigerating. For a sweet and salty twist, try peanuts. You can also add walnuts and pecans for that nutty, earthy taste in each bite.

Pulverize dried strawberries to create a course powder and sprinkle on the chocolate coating before refrigerating.

Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday season, and what’s more appropriate than cinnamon? Sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on top of the chocolate prior to refrigerating for a comforting, holiday-inspired bite.

If this chocolate chip cookie dough isn’t sweet enough for you, which is totally fair, finely chop up candies such as Reeses, Snickers, and/or Kit Kats. Sprinkle these pieces onto the chocolate coating before refrigerating. Candy on cookies!? Hell. Yeah.

Hey there, cookie lovers! Easy chocolate chip cookies are definitely a tasty treat, but they’re usually more of an indulgence than a health food. They can be high in sugar and fat, so it’s good to enjoy them occasionally rather than every day. If you’re looking for a healthier version, you might try using whole grain flour or adding oats, and reducing the sugar a bit. Balancing your sweet cravings with health goals is totally possible—just enjoy those cookies in moderation!
