  • DIETERY NEEDS - There are options for making these cookies both gluten free and dairy free and they are also nut free.

Ingredients

  • ▢ 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • ▢ 1/3 cup room temperature unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • ▢ 2 eggs (see notes)
  • ▢ 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • ▢ 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • ▢ 1 3/4 cups rolled oats (certified gluten free if needed)
  • ▢ 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ▢ 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
  • ▢ 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line one large baking sheet (or two small) with parchment paper, or a silicone a baking mat, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the coconut sugar and butter (or coconut oil) until smooth, about 1 minute. You can either use a hand mixer, or stand mixer with paddle attachment.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the coconut flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low until just combined. Next, fold in the chocolate chips.
Using about 2 tbsp. of dough, scoop dough (or roll into balls) onto prepared cookie sheet (I like using a spring loaded cookie scoop for this). Flatten dough into a round cookie shape. The cookies will not spread or change shape while they are cooking.
Bake for 7-9 minutes. Let cool slightly and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Tips
  • Both butter and coconut oil work in these cookies. Use coconut oil if you need them to be dairy free.
  • If using coconut oil, use room temperature eggs. This will keep the coconut oil from solidifying when the eggs are added in.
  • When measuring coconut flour, scoop flour into measuring cup and even out with the dull edge of a knife. Do NOT pack the flour into the measuring up.
  • Whether using a cookie scoop, or rolling in your hands, pack the dough together before shaping into cookies. This will help the them hold their shape.
  • If dough is too sticky while shaping them into cookies, lightly grease your fingers with butter or oil.
