How to Make the Best Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Glad you asked…
STEP 1: MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (spelt flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and coconut sugar). We will use the chocolate chips in the next step.
STEP 2: ADD THE WET INGREDIENTS
Add the wet ingredients (coconut oil, coconut cream, and vanilla extract) using a spatula until everything is combined, being sure not to overmix. The perfect consistency would be a moldable dough. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
STEP 3: SCOOP THE COOKIE DOUGH & BAKE
Depending on the size of the cookie you desire, roll into balls, and place them on a prepared baking sheet. You can use a 1 or 2-tablespoon measurement or a mini muffin scooper.
Bake for 10 minutes until firm and fluffy (cookies will be crunchier on the outside as they cool). Let the cookies cool at room temperature for at least ten minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
