The 4th of August is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.
It is a vintage dessert baked by using a variety of sweet ingredients.
You can also risk it all by considering ingredients on your shopping list that are unfamiliar inside a chocolate chip cookie.
Here are some you can add.
Bacon
Made from pork, this ingredient is normally paired with savoury foods like hamburgers.
However, it is slowly reaching desserts with many well-known chefs applying it to chocolate bars or candy canes.
A website called Serious Eats has also baked chocolate chip cookies with bacon.
Trying this out at home will combine that sweet and savoury flavour into your cookies.
Avocado
This healthy fruit is one of the most popular thanks to its versatility and rich flavour.
It is eaten in various ways and can even be incorporated into a chocolate chip cookie.
It is a vegan recipe for those who love their cookies soft due to the mashed avocado’s creaminess
If you don’t have one at your disposal, you can use guacamole as a substitute.
Cayenne pepper
Whenever you want to turn up the heat on a chocolate chip cookie, this is the weapon of choice.
By adding cayenne pepper to cocoa powder, and double the amount of chocolate, you will get an extremely delicious cookie.
You can also use salt to give it an extra kick.
Banana
In addition to banana bread in desserts, this potassium-rich fruit can also be used in chocolate chip cookies.
Their moist and soft taste can be combined with oats and chocolate chips for amazing cookies.
It is advisable to buy the ripest bananas possible since they taste sweeter and better.
Apple sauce
Whether ready or homemade, apple sauce is an ingredient you must consider.
It makes the cookies very fluffy and you can also add nutmeg or cinnamon to the mix for a warm taste.
Zucchini
The summer squash’s water complements chocolate chip cookies.
It’s slightly spiced flavour alongside the cookie’s chewy texture makes an excellent dessert option for vegans.
Light Olive Oil
This is probably the last ingredient you think of when baking a chocolate chip cookie.
However, it is a healthy alternative to butter and adds a delightful flavour to your mouth.
Tahini
The sesame seed’s rich and nutty flavour leads to unexpected but delicious dishes such as in a chocolate chip cookie.
With an egg yolk and Tahini, a golden and crispy cookie is created.
