Paleo Cocoa-kies

9/30/2020

 
This cookies are packed with protein and energizing cacao - making them great for a quick breakfast or a pre/post workout snack.
​Oh, and they go great with coffee :) 
Pay attention to the room temp ingredients- it makes a difference!

Ingredients

Picture
½ cup of your favorite nut butter
¼ cup unrefined coconut oil, room temp
⅓ cup coconut sugar ( or 1/4 c maple syrup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg, room temp
1 c nut flour (we like a combo of pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Simply pulse whole seeds until a grainy, coarse sand texture is achieved)*
1 c finely shredded coconut flakes*
⅓ c cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
Hefty pinch sea salt
Optional: ⅓ cup chocolate chips; extra coconut sugar for sprinkling on top of the cookie dough before baking!

*Depending on how runny the nut butter is, you may have to use ~½ cup more of dry ingredients. ​

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
Using a spoon or whisk in a medium bowl, mix together the first 4 ingredients until well incorporated (much easier when the coconut oil and nut butter are room temp!). Next, mix in the egg (again, make sure its room temp or it will cause the coconut oil to clump).
In another bowl or directly into the wet ingredient bowl, add the remaining 5 ingredients to the wet until a slightly sticky batter has formed. You want your batter to come off your spoon in a solid ball when you forcefully drop the batter onto your cookie sheet (like the motion of flicking of a whip, except with a spoon). As mentioned above, you may need to add more dry ingredients to achieve this texture. You can use your fingers to shape the dropped dough balls into uniform spheres, but I like the rough and chunky look. You can also sprinkle with more coconut sugar at this point.

Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until firm and slightly golden brown on the top and bottom.
Let cool a bit before transferring from Silpat to a wire rack with a spatula. These will store for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container kept in the fridge.
​(They ain't gonna last that long though...)
