Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies use coconut flour and coconut oil combined with eggs, maple syrup, and chocolate chips to create delicate, soft cookies with a tender crumb. The dough thickens before baking, resulting in soft, fragile cookies that hold dark chocolate chips throughout. They are a mildly sweet treat with the distinct taste and texture of coconut flour, best handled gently due to their softness.

Notes
- Melted coconut oil can be substituted with melted butter, but avoid other oils for consistent texture.
- Allow the dough to rest 10 minutes before baking so coconut flour fully absorbs the liquids, improving texture.
- Handle cooled cookies gently as they are fragile and soft.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate for firmer cookies.
- Freeze cookies for up to 1 month; note they may become slightly crumbly when thawed.
