Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or ghee, room temperature
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups cassava flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, beat together butter and coconut sugar for 1 minute.
- Once a crumbly dough forms, add in egg and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Then, sift in cassava flour and baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Once a dough is formed, fold in chocolate chips.
- At this point, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop or your hands to roll dough into 1 ½ inch balls. Place on parchment paper and lightly flatten each ball of dough. See photo above. Repeat for all dough.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just barely browned. They will look a little under baked.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Then, carefully remove cookies and serve.
Notes
- ½
- ½
- ½ inch balls of dough. Then, slightly flatten with your hands. See photo above for reference.
- Ghee or butter will work in this recipe. Use room temperature ghee or butter; do not melt.
- If desired, coconut sugar can be replaced with ½ cup of white sugar and ½ cup of brown sugar.
- I have not tested this recipe without the egg.
- After folding in chocolate chips, dough will seem more crumbly and thick than usual. This is normal! The refrigeration step is mandatory and will help bind the dough together.
- With that said, do NOT skip the refrigeration step.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form 1 ½ inch balls of dough. Then, slightly flatten with your hands. See photo above for reference.
- These cookies barely spread while baking.
- Remove cookies from oven when they turn slightly brown. They will look under baked, but it is VERY important to not over bake them.
- Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes on pan before eating.
