Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla paste
Add-ins
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla paste. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the same bowl, add the coconut flour, sea salt, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined. Initially, the dough may appear loose but will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquids.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough if using, ensuring each scoop will contain some chips.
- Shape Cookies: Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each scoop with your fingers to form cookie shapes.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the bottoms and edges of the cookies turn golden brown.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate. Refrigerated cookies will stay fresh for up to 7 days and develop a firmer texture that some prefer.
Notes
- Ensure you measure the coconut flour accurately, as it absorbs moisture differently than other flours.
- The dough thickens as it rests due to coconut flour’s absorbency—do not add extra liquid when it seems loose initially.
- Using vanilla paste enhances the flavor, but vanilla extract can be substituted if needed.
- Chocolate chips are optional; feel free to replace with nuts or dried fruit for variation.
- Store cookies refrigerated for longer freshness and a chewier texture.
