Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Coconut oil (softened)
  • 1/3 cup Coconut sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Paleo baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp Gelatin powder (optional, for softer, sturdier, and less crumbly cookies)
  • Paleo sprinkles (optional)
US Customary - Metric

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Use a hand mixer to beat the coconut oil and coconut sugar together.

  3. Add the eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and sea salt. Beat until uniform.

  4. Gradually beat in the coconut flour.

  5. Sprinkle (don't dump) the gelatin powder over the cookie dough, then beat together. Allow the paleo cookie dough to sit for a few minutes to thicken.

For round paleo sugar cookies:

  1. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. Flatten with your palm to 1/4-inch thick (they will not spread much during baking), keeping them at least an inch apart.

For paleo sugar cookie shapes:

  1. Form the dough into a ball and place in the fridge for 1 hour. Once firm, roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper, until about 1/4-inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into shapes, remove the excess dough away and slide onto a baking sheet. Repeat with any dough you pulled away.

  2. Bake for about 7-8 minutes, until cookies are starting to firm up, but still soft. Cool completing before you move them or add icing.

  3. If you want to add icing, try making one with coconut cream and add paleo sprinkles on top!
