Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat solid coconut oil with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes or until no clumps of coconut oil remain.
  3. Next, add in all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  4. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan.
  6. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies look slightly golden around the edges.
  7. Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a cooling rack. They are gooey!

Notes

  • Brewer's yeast is not always gluten free.  Please double check labels to make sure you are using one that is specified gluten free!
  • Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor.  Unrefined coconut oil has a slight coconut flavor.
  • Any type of milk can be used.
  • Old fashioned rolled oats provide a much better texture than quick oats.
  • If not gluten free, all purpose flour can be used.
  • Any type of chocolate chips can be used.
  • These cookies are gooey!  Feel free to bake them 1 or 2 more minutes for a crispier cookie.
  • These cookies spread quite a bit while baking.  For a thicker cookie, place dough in fridge for 30 minutes before baking.  Or, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour for a thicker dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • They freeze well!
