Chocolate and Coconut Oil Cookies

Ingredients

• 250 g flour
• 100 g melted coconut oil
• 40 g white sugar
• 40 g brown sugar
• 1 unit egg
• 100 g chocolate chips
• 1 tsp baking soda
• a little to taste vanilla extract (to taste)
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. 1Start by melting the coconut oil. Let it cool slightly before using it in your dough.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil with the white sugar and brown sugar. Mix well until the mixture is smooth.
3. 3Crack the egg into the bowl with the coconut oil and sugar mixture. Add a little vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
4. 4In another container, mix the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.
5. 5Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until a dough starts to form. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the cookies from becoming tough.
6. 6Once the dough is almost uniform, fold in the chocolate chips. Mix just enough to distribute the chips evenly throughout the dough.
7. 7Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. 8Use a spoon to scoop portions of dough and shape them into balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.
9. 9Place the cookies in the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
10. 10Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
