Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm water (I use filtered tap water)
  • 1/3 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (weigh for accuracy, or use a light hand to measure by cups)
  • 1/3 cup natural cane sugar (see notes for options
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup virgin coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (certified gluten-free, as needed)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (180C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To make 3 chickpea flour eggs, whisk the warm water with the chickpea flour until completely smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the coconut flour, sugar, baking soda and salt, breaking up any and all lumps in the coconut flour.
  • Add the chickpea flour "eggs", coconut oil, and vanilla, stirring until very well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. The dough will seem loose at first; let it stand for a minute or two and it thickens into a fluffy dough.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 14 minutes, or until the tops of cookies appear firm and slightly dry and edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  • Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool at least 5 minutes before eating. Eat warm, or cool completely.

Notes

Paleo Version: replace the chickpea flour "eggs" in step 2 with three large eggs. 
Storage: It is important to store the cooled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator, as opposed to room temperature. It is fine to transport them without refrigeration (e.g., lunch boxes), but they will become quite soft if stored at room temperature. You can always re-warm them for a few seconds in the microwave! You can also store, in an airtight container, in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Sugar Options: An equal amount of coconut sugar, brown sugar or granulated sugar can be used in place of the natural cane sugar.
