There are some days you just want a small taste of chocolate. Since the 72% Cacao chips by Simple Truth are nice for making a healthier chocolate chip cookie, there will be less guilt for my cookie loving friends. Oh, and these are made without eggs too.
I also wanted the full fiber, vitamin E, and nutrients provided by the fresh milled whole grain. Hopefully my gluten free friends will remember I use 1/2 cup almond flour and 1/2 cup of arrowroot flour with 1 tsp xanthan gum for a gluten-free version.
Although, I didn’t get to taste these cookies because I’m detoxing from sugar this month, my best taste tester, said “These are really good.” I don’t get “really” good very often… so take that however you like.
God is faithful to give us just what we need, while not giving too much for a big ego.
Here is what you need to get started for these Vegan Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
¼ Tsp. Salt
¼ cup coconut oil melted
1 1/4 Cups of fresh milled whole grain flour (or 1 cup unbleached flour)
½ Cup unsweetened coconut flakes
½ Cup 72% Cacao Chocolate Chips
¼ Cup Unsweetend Vanilla Almond Milk
1 Tsp vanilla
¼ Cup Sugar plus one scoop pure stevia*
¼ Cup Vanilla almond milk
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl combine the melted oil, milk, vanilla, sugar/stevia. Whisk until well combined. Add the flour mixture, coconut flakes, and chocolate chips.
Use a small teaspoon or cookie scoop to place 10-12 dough balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
