Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup refined coconut oil softened or melted and cooled
  • ½ cup maple syrup room temperature if possible
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 flax eggs instructions below
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • ⅓ cup arrowroot flour
  • ⅓ cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips Enjoy Life brand or your favorite dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the flax eggs by adding two tablespoons of ground flax seeds into a small cup or bowl and stir in ¼ cup of filtered water.
    Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Mix together the coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar and vanilla by using a stand mixer or electric beaters on medium high until smooth, about 5 minutes. 
  • Mix the remaining dry ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) in a separate, large bowl. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the palm oil mixture and mix until smooth. 
  • Mix in the flax eggs until smooth. 
  • Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  • Scoop dough out of bowl, form into balls and press down on lined baking sheet. The cookies will keep the shape of the dough once they are cooked. 
  • Bake for 10-13 minutes, until just slightly golden brown. 
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, and store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

  • I prefer refined coconut oil because it doesn't have a coconut taste. You can use regular coconut oil if you prefer.
  • The longer you cream together the oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla, the better.
