Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 48 Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Sticks of Butter (I use grass-fed)
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil (unrefined)
  • 1 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1 Egg (large)
  • 1-2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3 1/2 tbsp Ground Flaxseed Meal
  • 4 1/2 tbsp Brewer’s Yeast
  • 1 tbsp Moringa Powder (optional)
  • 1 3/4 cup Fresh Milled Flour (I use soft white wheat)
  • 2 1/2 cups Oats
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips (unrefined sugar free)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚.
  2. Combine the butter, coconut oil, sugar, egg and vanilla in a bowl. Cream together with a mixer.
  3. Add all the dry ingredients to the bowl (except the flour and oats). Mix on the low setting at first and gradually increase to medium speed. 
  4. Now, slowly add the flour and oats. Mix those ingredients on low speed. 
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips at the end. 
  6. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 
  7. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop the cookies on the prepared pan, spacing approx. 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Take a fork and press the cookies down gently.
  9. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.

Notes

  1. Can I substitute the coconut sugar for another sweetener? Sure, it’s a 1:1 ratio for white sugar. Although, the coconut sugar is healthier.
  2. What if I don’t have a cookie scoop? That’s ok. Just scoop the cookies in the dough using a large table spoon and drop the cookies onto the parchment paper.
  3. Can I use all-purpose flour? Sure, just back it down by 1/4 cup. Fresh milled is so much healthier though. If you don’t want to mill your own but still would love the nutrition, order fresh milled flour using the Unifine process. It still retains all the nutrients.
