- 1/2 cup room temperature coconut oil (about 70 degrees F )
- 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg- room temperature
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch (substitute with flour if needed)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- Sea salt- for finishing
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature coconut oil, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together until well mixed and creamy
- Next, add the flour, cornstarch (if using), baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients and gently mix until there are no traces of flour
- Use a rubber spatula to fold the dairy free chocolate chips into the cookie dough
- Roll the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon size balls and place 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown
- Carefully pull the baking sheet out of the oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and allow cookies to cool on it for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
Notes
- Use coconut oil that is at room temperature, but not melted
- If you don't want to taste any coconut flavor, use refined coconut oil
- Do not over mix the chocolate chip cookie dough or the cookies will be tough once baked
- Before baking, top the cookie dough balls with extra chocolate for that 'bakery style' look
- Bake 8-10 minutes only, they'll look under done but the residual heat from the baking sheet will finish them to perfection
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Or freeze cooled cookies for up to 3 months
