You'll also need a blender or food processor and a stand or electronic hand mixer.
how to make chocolate coconut flour cookies
The process to make these chocolate coconut flour cookies is simple, but there are a few key steps that I recommend following.
tips and tricks
The first is to melt the coconut oil for about 30 seconds in the microwave. and use room temperature (or slightly warmed) eggs. You can warm the cracked eggs in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Doing this will help melt some of the chocolate chips and contribute to the fudge center.
The second is to be careful about cooking time. Over baking will certainly lead to a dry cookie. If this is your first time making chocolate coconut flour cookies, it might be hard to tell if they are finished. But I promise that if you follow my instructions, they will need to bake for no more than 10 minutes.
And last, don't worry if the cookies look dry or crack a little. You can see in this picture that many of them have cracks and look dried out. These cracks are due to the coconut flour, but I promise that they are not dry. Make them, take a bite, and see for yourself!
step-by-step instructions
Next, puree the almond butter, brown sugar, and coconut oil until smooth. Put the puree in a stand mixer and add all of the dry ingredients (minus the chocolate chips). Mix for about 2 minutes to incorporate everything.
Now you'll add the warmed eggs and vanilla, and beat just until the eggs are combined with the batter. Eggs hold in air. If you over mix them into a batter, you'll get a consistency similar to cake rather than fudge.
The last ingredient to go in is the chocolate chips. Fold these in half at a time, and don't mix them using the beater (to avoid over beating the eggs).
On parchment-lined baking sheets, roll the batter into ½ inch balls and put about 1 inch apart. The batter will not spread or rise. So it's important to flatten each batter ball slightly with a spatula. Or, if spherical globe-like chocolate coconut flour cookies is the look you're going for, leave them as is!
After a little rolling, the batter might begin to feel dry, causing it to crack or stick to your hands. This is a simple fix. Dampen your hands with water to hold the batter balls together.
These cookies bake at 350 degrees for between 8 and 10 minutes. A toothpick will come out clean when finished.
It's as simple as that! 10 minutes of mixing and 10 minutes of cooking!
