How To Make The Best Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
The dough takes a few minutes to prepare. I like to use my stand mixer, but an electric hand mixer will work just as well. First, you beat the coconut oil (make sure it is NOT melted!) with the coconut sugar and honey. Next mix in the egg, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. Add all of the dry ingredients, and finally fold in the chocolate chunks.
Once the dough is prepared, it is important to chill it for at least 2 hours before baking, or even better – over night! Chilling the dough prevents the cookies from spreading and enhances the flavor and texture. *do not skip this step*
The final step is baking! Make sure your oven is preheated to 350 degrees F. I use a cookie scoop to ensure that I get uniform cookies. Bake the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes and enjoy!

I’m out of flax meal, what can I use? Also out of tapioca, can I use Arrow instead.
Hi Michele! I haven’t tried these cookies without flaxmeal, but you can try using ground chia seeds. And yes, arrowroot starch can be used instead of tapioca.
