Name: Thick And Chewy Chocolate Orange Coconut Oil Cookies (Vegan)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds; 3 Tablespoons Water; 1/2 cups Softened Coconut Oil; 3/4 cups Unrefined Brown Sugar; 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract; 1 Tablespoon Non-dairy Milk; 1 teaspoon Orange Zest; 1-1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour; 1 teaspoon Cornstarch; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1/4 teaspoons Salt; 3/4 cups Chocolate Chips

Servings: persons

1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
3 Tablespoons Water
1/2 cups Softened Coconut Oil
3/4 cups Unrefined Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Non-dairy Milk
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
1-1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoons Salt
3/4 cups Chocolate Chips

1
In a small bowl combine chia seeds and water, stir and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, until gel forms. This gel will be used as an egg substitute for the cookies. One large egg could be used instead.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with paddle attachment cream coconut oil and sugar together for 3 minutes. Add chia gel and beat until combined. Add in vanilla extract, milk and orange zest and mix until creamy.
3
In a separate bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Then stir it into the batter mixture. Beat until a thick dough forms. Add the chocolate chips and mix until distributed. (Since the dough is thick, chocolate chips will not be very evenly distributed.)
4
Gather dough in a ball and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
5
Preheat oven to 350 F. From the chilled dough, which is a little on the dry side, roll 1 inch balls. (Once you start rolling, the coconut oil will start to soften in your hands and balls will come together easily.) Place balls at least an inch apart on a baking sheet you've lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.
6
Bake cookies for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
7
Notes: Bake time may vary depending on the type of oven used, type of baking sheet, chill time and moisture of the ingredients. Dough does not stick well together.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
