Chocolate Chip Cookie

A little cluster of solid chocolate chip treats made with coconut oil, normally improved with coconut sugar, and entire wheat flour.

Prep Time: 10 minutes     
Cook Time: 9 minutes 
Total Time: 19 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup solid coconut oil
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375. Lightly spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, add the solid coconut oil and coconut sugar, and beat until fluffy about combined, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the egg yolk and vanilla, and beat until combined.
4. Next, evenly sprinkle the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder on top of the coconut oil mixture. Beat to combine everything well.
5. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Press the dough flat in the bowl (as best you can), and roughly divide the dough in quarters. From each quarter, make 2 cookies, for a total of 8 cookies.
7. Space the cookies evenly on the baking sheet, and press them down slightly--not totally flat.
8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are starting to turn golden brown.
9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely. (But seriously: who actually lets cookies cool? I eat these straight out of the oven).
