Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Measure the coconut oil, then soften it in a mug in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove. It doesn't need to be fully melted. To the oil add the vanilla, orange zest, orange extract, 2 tablespoons of milk, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until there is no visible dry flour. If the dough seems dry add another tablespoon of milk.
- Fold in the pecans and chocolate. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of dough into your hand and roll it between your palms to compact it and form a ball. Now, press it between your palms to flatten the cookie. Place on the prepared pan. They don't spread much during baking, so one cookie sheet should be enough.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and cool completely.
Notes
- Makes 12 to 14 cookies. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for 6 days. May be frozen for longer storage.
