Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ⅓ cup / 50g coconut flour
- ⅓ cup / 75g butter or coconut oil, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons granulated sweetener (brown sugar substitute), or more to taste
Optional Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk of your choice or cream (e.g., almond milk)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.
- Combine ingredients: Place the coconut flour, softened butter or coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener into a mixing bowl. Stir everything together thoroughly using a fork until evenly combined.
- Knead the dough: Use your hands to knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Allow the dough to rest a few minutes so the coconut flour can absorb moisture and expand. If the dough feels too soft to handle, chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
- Shape the cookies: Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then flatten with your palm into discs about 4 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick.
- Apply egg wash (optional): In a small bowl, whisk the egg with your choice of milk or cream. Brush this mixture gently onto each cookie to help them develop a golden crust during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges.
- Cool and store: Let cookies cool completely before handling as they are soft and fragile when hot but become firm as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for up to six months.
