Chocolate chip cookies with coconut oil
Description
This recipe combines softened coconut oil with sugars and an egg, mixed briefly with flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla to form a soft cookie dough. The dough is quickly shaped into balls, flattened slightly, and baked around 350°F until golden caramel at the edges. Unlike butter cookies, the use of coconut oil affects the dough’s consistency and baking behavior, creating cookies with a distinct texture.
The cookies can be left thick and round to be chewier or flattened for more crispness at the edges. Cooling racks help cookies retain their shape after baking. These cookies offer a different take on a classic chocolate chip cookie with a noticeable coconut undertone.
Softening coconut oil before mixing eases combining with sugar and egg. Avoid overbaking to maintain a tender texture. Adjust dough thickness or flattening for desired cookie chewiness or crispness.
Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour plain flour
- 1 cup coconut oil
- ⅔ cup muscovado sugar dark
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at Gas 4/ 180° C/ 350° F.
- Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whisk the coconut oil, sugars and egg until most of the sugar dissolves.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Quickly mix the dough and try not to knead it too much.
- Then mix the chocolate chips in.
- Take about a tablespoon of the dough and shape it into a small ball. Flatten it and put it on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Do this until all the dough is finished.
- Bake the cookies for about 15-18 minutes until they look golden caramel.
- Put the cookies on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Keep coconut oil at room temperature for easier mixing.
- For chewier cookies, do not flatten dough balls before baking.
- Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft texture; remove when edges turn golden caramel.
