Yield: 12 cookies
Ingredients: ¼ cup virgin coconut oil (room temperature); ⅓ cup almond butter (can also use any nut butter of choice, or sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free option); ⅔ cup coconut sugar; 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons flax meal + 6 tablespoons water - whisk them together and let sit for 5 minutes to gel); 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; ½ teaspoon baking soda (use 1/4 teaspoon if using sunflower seed butter - helps prevent the cookies from turning green when they cool!); ½ teaspoon salt; ⅓ cup (43g) coconut flour; ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats; ⅔ cup (4 oz.) chopped dark chocolate (make your own chocolate to keep 100% Paleo); Flaky sea salt (to sprinkle on top (optional))
