Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3/4 c softened, but not melted, coconut oil or grass-fed butter
  • 1 1/4 c coconut sugar
  • 2 flax eggs or organic eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 3 c oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 c dark chocolate chunks
  • sea salt flakes for sprinkling

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer, or using an electric mixer, beat the oil and sugar together, on medium-low speed until creamy and well combined. Add the flax eggs and vanilla bean paste and mix for another few seconds.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add it to the batter and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Stir the chocolate chips in by hand, cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drop cold batter by tablespoons onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1.5 inches apart from one another. Gently push down on the tops to flatten just a tad. Sprinkle each cookie with some sea salt flakes.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn brown. Allow to cool on the bakin sheet for a 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
