Ingredients
- ½ cup virgin coconut oil (soft or melted)
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour (plus 2 tablespoons more, if needed)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ - 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Cream together softened coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract with your mixer until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
- Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and mix in until just combined. If the dough seems too thin and oily, add 1-2 more tablespoons of flour. If desired, fold in ¾ cup chocolate chunks by hand.
- Form about 20 tablespoon-sized dough balls. If using chocolate chunks, press 2-3 more chunks into the top of each dough ball. Cover with plastic wrap and chill the dough balls for at least 1-2 hours (overnight is ideal).
- Preheat oven to 350°F and place chilled dough balls 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet (unlined sheets often result in too dark cookie bottoms when using coconut oil).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just set. The centers can still look slightly uncooked.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store airtight.
The secret to these perfectly chewy cookies lies in the quality of ingredients and the chilling time. Using Arkut's premium coconut sugar not only enhances the flavor but also provides natural minerals that refined sugars lack.
These cookies are absolutely amazing! The coconut sugar gives them such a wonderful caramel flavor. My family couldn't get enough of them.
I love that these cookies are healthier but still taste indulgent. The texture is perfect - chewy and soft. Will definitely make again!
Perfect recipe! I added some chopped walnuts and they turned out fantastic. Arkut coconut sugar really makes a difference in the flavor.
