Description
Soft, chewy, and naturally gluten-free, these cookies are made with coconut flour and a handful of healthy, simple ingredients. Perfect for anyone craving a guilt-free treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. - Mix the Dry Stuff
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Coconut flour is super absorbent, so it’s key to measure carefully. - Blend the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. - Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until a soft dough forms. Don’t panic—it’ll seem wetter than typical cookie dough, but that’s normal with coconut flour! - Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently mix in the chocolate chips or chunks. They’re the best part, so don’t skimp. - Shape the Cookies
Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough, leaving space between each cookie. - Bake to Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden. The cookies will be soft right out of the oven, but they firm up as they cool. - Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea and dig in!
Notes
