chocolate cookies

  • 1 cup all purpose flour or almond flour (although I find I need to use a lot more almond flour than all purpose)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 Tablespoons water
  • optional, but i've made a version with zucchini added - you just need to add more flour to make up for the liquid
  • adjust batter for taste :)



  • Mix together dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Soften up coconut oil in microwave almost to liquid stage.
  • Cream coconut oil and brown sugar together with mixer.
  • Stir in flour mixture and water till combined.
  • I like to use a measuring tablespoon to form each cookie.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 11 minutes. This recipe makes around 2 dozen.
