I've made this recipe five times over the past week, in an attempt to get the ingredients and their amounts exactly right. I have also served these cookies to many people over this time period, but the person who has most enjoyed these cookies is my fiancee! He has put in a request for these cookies to be baked every single week from now on. If you do not like the idea of caffeine in your cookies, opt for the carob option. If you feel cheated eating a cookie without chocolate in it, add dark chocolate chips, carob chocolate chips or cacao nibs. If you do not eat eggs, replace the 1 egg with 2 extra tablespoons of coconut oil. The only problem you will face with these cookies is just eating one at a time!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup real maple syrup (not flavoured)
- 1/3 cup carob buttons or dark chocolate or cacao nibs
- 3/4 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon bi-carb of soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 free range egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, in liquid form
- pinch of sea salt
Baking
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
3. Shape the dough into 12 even sized balls, then flatten with your hand or a fork on the prepared baking tray.
4. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees, then lower the heat to 160 degrees for 5 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely - this is the hardest step of all!
