Coconut white chocolate chip cookies

RECIPE

MAKES 24 COOKIES:

1 cup softened butter (or vegan butter, I like Myokos)

2 cups coconut sugar 

2 eggs 

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract (this is essential! Don’t skip this step!)

1 tsp baking soda 

2 tsp hot water 

1 tsp salt 

3 cups Einkhorn AP Flour (or GF 1:1 AP flour)

1 bag mini white chocolate chips

1 cup unsweetened coconut shreds (not flakes!)

Mix together butter and sugar until well combined

Then mix in eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and salt 

Combine hot water and baking soda in a separate bowl to dissolve the powder, then combine with the butter egg and sugar mixture until well mixed 

Then add flour, until combined, being mindful not to overwork

Fold in chocolate chips and coconut shreds 

Pack dough into a ball, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Scoop cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet 

Bake for 5 minutes then rotate the tray

Bake for another 5 minutes then remove from the oven

Let them rest on the same baking sheet until completely cool

Enjoy!
