Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup applesauce, natural
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites (9 Tbsp liquid egg whites)
1 1/2 cups light coconut milk (I use So Delicious brand)
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup stevia, replaces 1/4 C sugar (I use 6 packets Truvia)
1 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (a little less than half a 9oz bag)

Preparation

1.\tPreheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.
2.\tLine two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
3.\tIn a small bowl, stir the coconut flour, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt together.
4.\t In a large bowl, beat together the butter, vanilla extract, egg whites, applesauce, & coconut milk. This mixture will seem way too watery at first but don't worry, coconut flour sucks up moisture and needs this much liquid.
5.\tPour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until well combined.
6.\tStir in the chocolate chips.
7.\tScoop by the tablespoon onto the cookie sheet, then flatten out the balls with your fingertips. These cookies won't spread while baking so flatten them to the size you want the final product to be.
8.\tBake for 15-20 minutes until lightly brown. Makes 30 cookies.
