One of the greatest things in life are homemade, fresh-out-of-the-oven cookies. And because SAGANÀ Coconut Spread has a rich buttery taste which is great for baking, making cookies the healthier way is no longer an impossible feat.
With so many plant-based butter alternatives available nowadays, making treats like breads and pastries is now becoming more common. And using a non-hydrogenated coconut oil based product such as SAGANÀ Coconut Spread should be on top of your list when it comes to baking — especially if you're trying to cut down on cholesterol knowing that a lot of baked goods calls for butter.

How to make chocolate chip cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together.
- In another large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together SAGANA Coconut Spread and sugar until smooth and mixed together well.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low speed
- Gradually add the flour mixture and mix in until well incorporated. Do not over mix.
- Add chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon, again no overmixing, just until incorporated.
- Chill dough inside the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Using a small or large ice cream scooper or heaping tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 6 to 8 per pan, depending on size you are making.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
