Ingredients
  • ¾ cup unbleached flour (freshly ground is best!)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil, hardened
  • ½ cup raw honey
  • ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup coconut flakes
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover 2 trays with parchment paper.
  2. Comine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk well.
  3. Add the coconut oil, honey and sugar to a large bowl and beat for a few minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until incorporated.
  4. Slowly add the flour mixture, beating until well combined. Add the coconut flakes and mix by hand until fully incorporated.
  5. Using your hands, roll the dough into golf-size balls and drop the tray, leaving at least 2 inches between each ball. Flatten them with a fork in a crisscross pattern (like a traditional coconut cookie), and bake 11-13 minutes. Let cool on the tray 5 minutes.
