Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil with maple syrup until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until a consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold in dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your palm to create a uniform shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Make sure your coconut oil is melted but not hot when combining with other wet ingredients.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make the cookies tough and dense.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the coconut flour and almond flour before mixing.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for the most intense chocolate experience.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of plant-based milk to achieve the right consistency.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to help them set and develop a perfect texture.
- For a more decadent touch, drizzle melted dark chocolate over cooled cookies.
- Store cookies in a cool, dry place to maintain their crisp edges and soft center.
