Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine ground chia seeds and the 4 tablespoons of water. Set aside for 3-5 minutes to gel.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut sugar and molasses, followed by coconut oil. Whisk to combine. Then add the chia egg, followed by vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to evenly combine. Add wet ingredients and stir until ingredients are incorporated into a cohesive dough. Use your hands to mix in the remaining dry ingredients, if needed.
  • Place organic cane sugar on a plate. The dough can be sticky, so spray your hands with cooking spray as needed, and use a tablespoon to scoop out dough. Roll dough in-between your hands into a ball. Place on plate with sugar, roll to coat, then place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Press dough balls about halfway down with the palm of your hand. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are set on the outside. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  • Prep your chia egg and your plate of rolling sugar before starting.
  • The cookie dough is sticky, so use cooking spray to coat your hands when rolling into balls.
  • Be careful not to overbake, as these little cookies will get too dry.
To store: Allow cookies to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.
