Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp ground chia
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1/3 cup melted butter - I used Earth Balance
  • 1/4 cup melted refined coconut oil
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups 1 for 1 Gluten-Free Flour - I used Bob's Red Mill
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate chunks - I used Enjoy Life Foods
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the chia and water. Allow to sit, while you prep the wet ingredients.
  • Add sugar to melted butter and mix well. Follow with chia, vanilla and coconut milk and mix until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda together.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix very well, stirring with wooden spoon or sturdy spatula for about 3 minutes. If you have a Kitchen Aid with paddle attachment, mix on low for 2 minutes.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and chopped chocolate chunks.
  • Cover dough very well (air is it's worst enemy!) and chill in the fridge for 5-8 hours.
  • Once chilled, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and line a good quality baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an ice cream scoop (I use a kitchen scale and measure each dough ball out to 69 grams each) for consistent size and shape, scoop out dough and roll into balls and flatten to about 1/2 - 1 inch thickness. (I simply place each ball onto the baking sheet and lightly press down using the palm of my hand)
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the exterior is fairly firm to the touch.
  • Once removed from the oven, leave on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Cookies will continue to bake and firm up enough to safely remove from tray.
  • Remove and let cool on baking racks for about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to airtight container.

Notes

*Cookies are good at room temperature for up to 5 days.
**These are best enjoyed served warmed. Pop in the microwave for 10 seconds each (every microwave varies!) or in an oven at 350 degree for 2-3 minutes.
***Cookies freeze so perfectly!!! Store in airtight container and freeze up to 6-8 weeks. Thaw at room temperature.
