Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Make no mistake - it is CRUNCH TIME people. It's already 90 degrees out and I think it's safe to say we're into swimsuit season. How did this happen so quickly?

If you feel like you just can't live without something sweet, make these. These are a big hit in my house every time. If you're not huge on coconut, I think you would be safe leaving it out. As for the coconut flour - I can't really taste it. You could also add nuts to these if you like.

Note: They're going to be a little drier than regular chocolate chip cookies, but in my opinion they are better the next day. I've heard them described as "chewy" but in a good way.

 Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Coconut Flour
• 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
• 1/2 Cup Raw Honey (or natural sweetener of your choice)
• 4 Omega 3 eggs
• 1/2 Tsp Vanilla extract
• 1/8 Tsp sea salt
• 1/2 Cup of shredded unsweetened coconut
• 3/4 Cup of Enjoy Life chocolate chips

Process:

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. In a large bowl, combine coconut oil, raw honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt. (To make your life easier, in a small bowl on the side, combine the raw honey and coconut oil and melt in the microwave before mixing it in)
3. Add in your coconut flour.
4. Stir in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
5. On parchment lined baking sheets, drop heaping tablespoons of cookie batter.(Ensure you form them to look like the cookies you want for a final product as these do not rise or spread like conventional cookies, which also means you can place more on a baking sheet without worrying about them touching) 
6. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and then enjoy with a nice cup of coconut milk.
