Double Chocolate Coconut Cookies

 It must be the healthiest recipe for chocolate cookies. It is gluten free, vegan and very delicious!

If you love chocolate desserts than those cookies are definitely for you! They are crunchy on a first day. On a second day they become beautifully chewy, but still delicious! Also it is very easy to make, one-bowl recipe.

Double Chocolate Coconut Cookies

For about 30 cookies :

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup desiccated coconut (dried unsweetened shredded coconut)
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup tapioca powder (or cornstarch)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2/3 cup maple syrup
• vanilla (optional)
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

- Preheat oven to 350F. Lay parchment paper on a two large baking sheets.

- In a bowl, combine all ingredients except maple syrup and vanilla.

- Add maple syrup and vanilla, mix in until stiff sticky dough forms.

- Use a cookie scoop to place dough pieces on a baking sheet. Because dough is very sticky, cover cookies with plastic wrap and flatten dough to about 1/2 inch with your palm.

- Cook in a preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. 

- Enjoy!

I actually forgot to add vanilla and it turned out very flavorful anyway. Perhaps next time I won't add it intentionally. What the point? Let's give vanilla a break :)

Place wrap on top of dough scoops - you will have no trouble then to flatten your cookies with your  palm.
