Chocolate and Coconut Oil Cookies

Step 1

Start by melting the coconut oil. Let it cool slightly before using it in your dough.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil with the white sugar and brown sugar. Mix well until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Crack the egg into the bowl with the coconut oil and sugar mixture. Add a little vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 4

In another container, mix the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Gradually 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.

Step 6

Once the dough is almost uniform, fold in the chocolate chips. Mix just enough to distribute the chips evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Use 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.

Step 9

Place 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.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
