Ingredients
- ¼ c . coconut oil (measure and use it in a semi-soft state)
- 3 T . coconut sugar (or another natural granulated sugar)
- 1 T . chickpea flour mixed with 2 T. milk (or 2 T. of a lightly beaten egg)
- 1 t . vanilla
- ¾ c . spelt flour (can also use whole wheat or a gluten-free blend)
- ¼ t . sea salt
- ⅛ t . baking soda
- ⅛ t . powdered stevia extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl (flour, salt, baking soda, and stevia).
- In a separate bowl, beat the soft coconut oil with the sugar for about one minute.
- Add in either the 'chickpea' egg or regular chicken egg and vanilla, and beat for another minute.
- Add in the dry mix and beat for another minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Roll the dough into balls (I made 10), place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and press down to get them into the shape you desire (they don't spread much).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes (bottom should be golden).
- Cool completely before frosting them.
