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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a larger mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Add the egg to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Gently press each ball down slightly to flatten.
Step 9
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).
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
