Description
Delicious and easy coconut flour cookies that are gluten-free and can be made dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup coconut flour, sifted
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
-
PREHEAT THE OVEN: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
-
ADD THE DRY INGREDIENTS: Stir in the sifted coconut flour and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly. The batter will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid—let it rest for 1–2 minutes to fully hydrate.
-
FORM THE COOKIES: Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon, shaping them as needed. They will not spread during baking.
-
BAKE: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the tops appear set.
-
COOL: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. They will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Feel free to customize the add-ins based on your preference.
- For a nut-free version, ensure to use coconut oil instead of butter and check all ingredients for cross-contamination with nuts.
