Heath Cookies

The dark sugar and the dark cocoa make this health
cookie taste just like Americas favorite candy bar!

This recipe is taken from the HEATH crinkle package. I wasn't sure how it would turn out because, well, I like a little more "umpf" in my flavors but it came out pleasingly tasty. 

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup dutch cocoa (you can remove 1 tbsp of the dutch and replace it with 1 tbsp of black cocoa for a deeper cocoa look at taste)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks room temperature butter
  • 12 tablespoons white sugar
  • 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp good vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs- room temperature
  • 1 whole package of heath bits

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder (s), baking soda and salt.
  2. Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the sugars and cream for 2 minutes.
  4. Add in the vanilla extract and mix.
  5. Incorporate eggs, one at a time, until incorporated.
  6. Using 1/2 cup measures, add in the flour (dry goods).
  7. Finish by adding in the Heath bits.
  8. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  9. Place 1 tbsp (you can if you like make them into balls) dough on parchment paper until your tray is full. 
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes- RECOMMENDED that you under bake slightly. 
  11. For a holiday look, roll in sugar, finishing sugar or clear sprinkles before baking.
