- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Makes 16
Ingredients
- 125g plain flour
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 100g demerara sugar
- 100g dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 75g coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
Method
- STEP 1
Mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder, bicarb, sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- STEP 2
Stir in the coconut oil, vanilla and 2 tbsp water until you have a rough dough. It will look a bit crumbly but should come together if you squeeze a lump together in your hand – if not, add a little more water.
- STEP 3
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a large baking tray with baking paper or a silicone baking mat. Scoop out a generous tbsp of dough and mold into a ball using your hands. Push down on the baking tray into a cookie shape and repeat with the remaining dough – don’t worry about spacing them too far apart as they won’t expand much in the oven.
- STEP 4
Bake for 12 minutes then leave to cool before eating. Stored in an airtight container the cookies will keep for a few days.
