Baking with coconut flour & what to expect
If you're new to the world of coconut flour, you may be a bit surprised at the resulting texture of your goods. Coconut flour is an extremely absorbent flour, which means there'll be more liquid/eggs in a typical coconut flour-based recipe. This results in a surprisingly delicious cake-like texture. If you find your mixture is a touch wet, simply add 1 TBSP extra of coconut flour and stir until the batter thickens.
Your cookies won't spread - get creative!
The fun part about this recipe is creating the cookie shapes. Since your batter won't spread as it cooks, you can design your own fun cookie shapes with the kids, or stick to the traditional rounds you love. I flattened mine out and topped them with decorative additional chocolate chips (I mean, duh.) for an added treat.
Salted Caramel Nutralean
Adding Nutracelle's prebiotic protein powder into your recipes gives you an automatic boost of healthy protein, and gut-healing prebiotic fiber. The magic of prebiotic fiber is that it slows down your body's digestion time, meaning you'll get more use out of the super-filling protein! Aside from the science-y health benefits.. it's just really, really delicious.
If you don't have any Salted Caramel Nutralean on-hand, no worries! Substitute Vanilla Cream, or even Natural (either Nutralean or NutraVegan) and you're good to go!
Parchment paper pro-tip
I recently learned an incredibly helpful tip for dealing with parchment paper, and I just had to share it! Rip off your desired amount of parchment and crumple it up loosely in your hands. I know that seems strange, but trust me. Smooth it out onto your pan and you'll find with the new divots and crumpled aesthetic, it no longer slides all over the place. Amazing!
