Does anybody know the difference between a cookie and a biscuit? I've looked for an answer on the internet and there doesn't seem to be a definate difference, just stacks of variations. Biscuit or cookie, I'm not sure the eaters of Lieneka's recipe below are going to care!
¼ cup sifted coconut flour
¼ cup butter or coconut oil
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla
In a saucepan at low heat, melt butter and stir in cocoa powder. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, combine eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla; stir in cocoa mixture. Whisk coconut flour into batter until there are no lumps. Let batter rest for 4 to 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly. Drop batter by the spoonful on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 175 Degrees for 15 minutes. Makes about 16 cookies.
I tried these this afternoon and they are an instant hit in our house. Simple to make, some mixing and pouring tasks if you have little helpers and a great little lunchbox treat. Lieneka also mentioned that they are actually full of goodness - pure cocoa is a good source of magnesium, eggs for protien and some quick research on the interweb found that coconut is full of health benefits as well.
