  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 cup refined coconut oil at room temperature , but not melted
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 drops mint extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 2-3 baking sheets and line with parchment paper or silpat.
  • In a bowl combine quinoa flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • If coconut oil is hard at room temperature, you can push it through a fine mesh strainer.
  • Cream coconut oil and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between to incorporate. Add vanilla and mint extract.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix until mixture comes together and wet ingredients are absorbed. Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Use one heaping tablespoon for each cookie, scoop cookies onto prepared baking sheets. Bake no more than 12 at a time.
