Calories: 216kcal
Ingredients
- 1 c. + 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. Dutch process or dark cocoa powder sifted
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. coarse kosher sea salt
- 1/2 c. melted coconut oil*
- 3/4 c. brown sugar packed
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. espresso powder optional
- 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 c. chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl (with a hand mixer), beat coconut oil and sugars on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg, and mix until combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the vanilla extract and espresso powder (if using). Add to wet ingredients, and mix just until combined.
- With mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients, chocolate chips, and chocolate chunks. Mix until combined. Let the dough rest on the counter for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 10 minutes if the dough seems too hard to work with.
- Using a standard-size cookie scoop, portion dough onto prepared baking sheets. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
STORE the Double Chocolate Cookies with Coconut Oil in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To FREEZE, place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
REHEAT by placing frozen cookies in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or microwave for 10-15 seconds to enjoy them warm and gooey.
