Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the coconut sugar, honey, nut or seed butter, and vanilla and mix well until fully combined and smooth.
  3. In a smaller bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet until a sticky dough forms, then stir in the chocolate baking chunks.
  4. Chill the dough for about 5 minutes in the freezer**
  5. After the dough has firmed up a bit, form 12 balls and place on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Using another piece of parchment paper, press the cookie dough balls down so they are about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the tops of the cookies crack and the sides begin to brown. Dont overbake - they will still feel soft!
  7. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve with your favorite dairy free milk and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*If using sunflower seed butter, you can add a dash of lemon juice to the batter and reduce the baking soda to 1/2 tsp to avoid the inside turning green. However, this is optional and if your cookies turn green, it is perfectly fine and they will still be delicious!

**Chilling the dough for 5 minutes will firm it up and make it easier to roll into balls. The coconut flour will also expand without chilling and the dough will firm up after a few minutes anyway.
