Prep: 10Cook: 13Total: 38 minutes
Servings: 16 1x
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil (not melted)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup cane sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups 1:1 all purpose gluten-free flour
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream: Add the coconut oil, brown sugar, and cane sugar to a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes until fully incorporated.
- Combine: Add the egg and vanilla to the mixing bowl and mix until incorporated. Add the flour, sea salt, and baking soda and mix until a uniform dough is formed. The dough will be thick. Fold in the chocolate chips. Place the dough in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
- Scoop: While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the fridge. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into 1 ½ tablespoon dough balls about two inches apart. The dough will make 16 cookies.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden brown around the edges and set in the middle. If you prefer a soft center, do not overbake. Cool on a baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Make sure the coconut oil is soft, but not melted.
- While the chilling is optional, it helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much. The dough will get slightly hard, so only leave it in the fridge while the oven is preheating.
- If you like your cookies chewy in the center, pull them out around 10-11 minutes to check for doneness.
- You can also swap the coconut oil for ghee. Ghee is butter with all of the milk solids removed. Some brands are certified lactose and casein free, so check the brand you use.
