Serves: about 15
Ingredients
  • ½ cup refined coconut oil, room temperature
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl or with a hand mixer, beat coconut oil with coconut sugar until crumbly. (about 2 minutes)
  3. Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until combined. (about 3 minutes)
  4. In a medium-large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to mixing bowl and beat until dough forms, scraping sides as needed.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips and stir with a large spoon.
  6. Roll dough unto roughly 1½-inch balls with your hands and place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until hardened, but still tender.
  8. Save in an airtight container in room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze to save longer.
Notes
If your coconut oil is harder or softer, the baking time may need to be tweaked a bit. Just keep an eye on them and watch for when they're hard, but still a bit tender in the center.
