Title: Coconut Flour Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup coconut flour
– 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– Optional: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
3. Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough. If desired, add in any optional ingredients such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
4. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gently flatten each cookie into your desired shape, as they won’t spread much during baking.
5. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as coconut flour can brown quickly.
6. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Store the Coconut Flour Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
