Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper (optional).
2
In a food processor or blender, combine the coconut flour, coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until a smooth and cohesive dough forms.
3
Gently fold in the homemade chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4
Using a round 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop out the cookie dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown.
