Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder, I prefer cacao)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoon Stevita stevia
  • ⅔ cup coconut oil, melted, but not hot
  • 2 Tablespoon Raw Honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • pink salt, to top the cookies
  • *To make the cookies a bit sweeter, you can add 2 Tablespoons of coconut sugar along the step with the cacao powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cacao powder, salt, baking soda and stevia and mix gently with a fork. The cocoa powder has a tendency to get everywhere, so start slow
  3. In a medium bowl add the coconut oil, raw honey, egg, vanilla and almond extract and mix together with a hand mixer
  4. Slowly add in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with the hand mixer on low
  5. Once combined, stir in the chocolate chips
  6. Use a cookie scoop and put the cookies on a cookie sheet
  7. Sprinkle some pink salt over the top of the cookies, the saltiness adds so much to the cookie when you first bite into it
  8. Bake for 10 minutes and let sit on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to have them set. They are a crumbly cookie, so setting them is key
  9. Store in the fridge or the freezer. My personal favorite is eating them frozen!
