This was the first time I used coconut flour to make cookies! I was really just blown away by the texture of these cookie. They had that delicately crumbly yet soft sandy texture that I love so much in a good shortbread cookie. Maple syrup paired with vanilla extract and paleo-approved dark chocolate chips sweeten this tasty treat up for you. You’ll be surprised how rich these cookies are, so a smaller yield of 8 cookies will be surprisingly just right.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter (room temp)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (e.g., Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels)

Yield: 8 cookies

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix butter and coconut butter really well.
  3. Add in maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix until you have a smooth dough.
  4. Divide dough into 8 balls and place them on a baking sheet. Flatten balls of dough with the back of a fork.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes. While cookies are baking, melt the dark chocolate and place it in a ziploc bag. Clip the corner of the ziploc bag so you can squeeze the melted chocolate onto the cookies once they are done baking. Allowed chocolate to cool and harden.
