Equipment
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the spelt flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to a mixing bowl, then mix well.
- Melt the coconut oil (either by heating it in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds on high power, or in a pan on the stove set to low-medium heat).
- Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a second mixing bowl, then mix well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then use your hands to combine the ingredients until a cookie dough texture is achieved. This is a sticky job so wear kitchen gloves for this step (and for the following two steps) if you prefer.
- Use your hands to roll the cookie dough into 14 evenly sized dough balls and place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Use your fingers to flatten the dough balls into circles.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 14 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool off for at least 20 minutes before serving.
