Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 140ml coconut oil
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup sugar, or 1 cup sugar if you like your cookies sweet
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 120ml milk or soy milk
Instructions
- Warm up the oven. Preheat the oven to 365ºF.
- Melt the coconut oil. Place the jar of coconut oil in hot water and let the coconut oil melt until it’s very soft and easy to stir (it doesn’t have to be completely liquid). Pour 140ml into a measuring cup and add the coconut oil to a mixing bowl.
- Make the cookie batter. Add the egg, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, and stir well until the ingredients have combined. Add the rice flour, cinnamon powder, and baking powder and whisk until combined.
- Add the other ingredients . Add the quick oats, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips, and mix using a spatula. Finish by adding the milk and mix well, making sure that the cookie batter is mixed well with the oatmeal, coconut, and chocolate chips. *This step is important to ensure that all the cookies taste the same and have the same amount of sweetness.
- Scoop up the batter. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and scoop a heaping tablespoon of the cookie batter. Place it on the parchment paper and repeat this step until all the batter has been used. Leave some space between each cookie to allow them to expand.
- Bake. Bake in the oven for 17-22 minutes, until the outer edges of the cookies are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
Storage: Transfer the cookies to an airtight storage container and leave on the kitchen counter for up to 3 days. To have them last longer, refrigerate for up to 10 days.
