Ingredients
- 2/3 cup coconut crystals
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ? tsp sea salt
- ? tsp baking soda
- ? tsp nutmeg
- ? cup butter, softened
- 1 Tbsp grated orange or lemon peel (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 3-4 Tbsp non-dairy milk (almond, rice, hemp, flax)
- 1-2 Tbsp ground flax seeds (good source of Omega 3)
- 2 ? – 2 ? cups stone ground whole wheat flour (or your favorite non-white flour; I use Namaste gluten free brand)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (the higher the cacao level, the healthier)
- ? chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything but the flour together. Stir well. Gradually add flour until the batter becomes stiff and you can easily form balls (about 2 ? cups). With your hands, make the dough into balls. Place them on a greased cookie sheet or baking stone and flatten slightly. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until set. (Cooking time will vary based on the ingredients you use, altitude, individual oven, etc.) Enjoy!
