Coconut flour cookies

מצרכים

• 60 g (1/2 cup) coconut flour
• 80 g (1/3 cup) soft butter or coconut oil
• 70 g (1/4 cup) sugar/ xylitol or erythritol
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2–3 tbsp milk or plant drink
• optional: 40 g (1/4 cup) chocolate chips, chopped nuts or grated coconuts

אופן ההכנה

1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C / 347F upper/lower heat or 160 °C /320F circulating air. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
3. Add coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Mix everything well.
4. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes so that the coconut flour can absorb liquid.
5. If the dough is very dry or crumbly, add tablespoons of milk. It should be soft but mouldable.
6. Form small balls, place on the tray and press lightly flat. Coconut flour cookies hardly diverge.
7. Bake for 13-20 minutes until the edges are slightly golden brown. Depends on the size of the cookies.
8. First let the cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes, as they are still warm and soft.
9. Tip
10. Coconut flour cannot replace normal flour in a 1:1 ratio because it binds a lot of liquid. For juicy cookies, therefore, do not use more coconut flour than indicated.
