Confession.
There are a couple of occasions when my oil free mantra goes out the window – garlicky oil drizzled on homemade pizza – or worse the temptation of a hot chip.
Yes I’m imperfectly perfect.
So these cookies are one of the few recipes in these pages that contain coconut oil.
1 Tbl chia soaked in 3 Tbl water
1 cup all purpose gluten-free flour
2 Tbl shredded coconut
1 tsp baking powder
Dash of salt
1/4 cup coconut oil
2-3 Tbl molasses sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Prepare your chia ‘egg’ by soaking the chia in water, stir and sit for 10 minutes.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt & coconut in a large bowl.
3 Soften the oil and mix in the sugar. Add the vanilla essence & chia egg.
4. Mix well.
5. Work the mixture with your hands if necessary. Make balls & flatten with a fork.
6. Bake for 9-12 minutes at 180.
PS those brown bits in the photograph are imperfectly stirred lumps of molasses sugar which come out all gooey + delicious + perfect :)
