Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Coconut oil (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a larger mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Add the egg to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Gently press each ball down slightly to flatten.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly underbaked (they will firm up as they cool).
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
