Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted and in liquid form
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt at room temperature
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips extra for topping if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture looks smooth and well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold the dark chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to shape into cookies.
- Add a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 9–10 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. They will appear soft at first but will firm up as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
Notes
Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
If whole wheat pastry flour is not available, white whole wheat flour can be used. A mixture of all-purpose flour and regular whole wheat flour also works. All-purpose flour alone can be used as well. Coconut Sugar
White sugar or cane sugar can replace coconut sugar if needed. Liquid sweeteners have not been tested and may change the texture of the cookies. Greek Yogurt
A dairy-free yogurt may be used as a substitute for Greek yogurt if preferred. Egg Substitute
This recipe has not been tested with egg replacements, but a flax egg may work as an alternative. Results may vary slightly. Please note that the nutritional values are provided by an online calculator and should be considered as an estimate.
