Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut flakes for a chewy texture and natural sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric adds a warm color and anti-inflammatory benefits
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt enhances the flavors
  • 3 tablespoons natural creamy almond butter for creaminess and a nutty taste
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil provides healthy fats and a subtle coconut flavor
  • 2 tablespoons honey a natural sweetener that binds the ingredients together
  • 1 tablespoon dairy-free mini chocolate chips for a touch of indulgence, plus more for drizzling if desired

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet or parchment paper
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. This will make the preparation process smooth and efficient.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut flakes, ground turmeric, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure that the turmeric is evenly distributed throughout the coconut.
  3. Step 3: Add the Creamy Ingredients. Next, add the natural creamy almond butter, coconut oil, and honey to the dry mixture. Use a spoon or spatula to blend everything together until you have a thick, cohesive mixture.
  4. Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips. Once your mixture is well combined, gently fold in the dairy-free mini chocolate chips. This will give your cookies a sweet surprise with every bite!
  5. Step 5: Form the Cookies. Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into cookie shapes. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Step 6: Chill Until Set. Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
  7. Step 7: Drizzle with Extra Chocolate (Optional). If you want to elevate the presentation, melt a few extra dairy-free chocolate chips and drizzle them over the top of the chilled cookies before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the chilling step; it ensures the cookies hold their shape.
  • Be careful not to use sweetened coconut flakes, as it can make the cookies overly sweet.
  • Watch the amount of chocolate chips—you want them to complement the cookie, not overpower it.
