It’s Cookie Season!
Here’s a healthier option for your holiday baking—Chocolate Coconut Sugar Cookies 🍫
What You’ll Need:
• Avocado or Olive Oil Spray
• 1 cup Melted Coconut Oil
• 1 cup Coconut Sugar
• 1/2 cup Cocoa (Unsweetened)
• 1/3 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups Gluten Free Flour Mix
(I like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1)
• 1/4 cup Ground Flaxseed
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum (NOTE: if you’re using whole wheat flour or a GF flour mix that already contains Xanthan, omit this!)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray 2 baking sheets. In a bowl, combine the coconut oil, coconut sugar, cocoa, apple sauce, salt, and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, flax, baking soda, and xanthan. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet. Form small cookie balls and flatten onto the baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes and enjoy!
Makes about 2 dozen cookies 🍪
