Tips For Best Results
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Bake until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft for the best texture.
Directions
Warm your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and coconut oil until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until just mixed. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut flakes so they’re evenly distributed. Use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared sheets, making sure to leave about an inch and a half between each cookie. Pop them in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the cookies feel set. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
