I LOVE the taste of coffee. Smooth, delicious, rich -- it's amazing.
So why am I only drinking coffee? Why not create some delicious coffee-flavored cookies. (And maybe serve them with coffee)
I never feel guilty about eating these cookies because I know they're made with 100% whole food plant-based ingredients. They are HEALTHY. No added sugars, no oils, no dairy milk, no eggs, no refined flours. They only have good stuff: fiber, vitamins, healthy fats, whole grains.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a large bowl whisk the nut butter, date sugar, maple syrup, coffee, ground flaxseeds, vanilla extract, and espresso powder.
Step 3. Add in the oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Step 4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 5. Scoop the dough into two-tablespoon sized balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets and use a wet hand to flatten.
Step 6. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
I use date sugar in my baking because it is made from fruit. Date sugar is dried dates, ground into a sugar consistency. So it is much healthier than any other sugar.
Date sugar is much different in baking than other sugars - it does not dissolve. So if you would like to use a different sugar, you need to make some changes to the recipe.
Make the following bolded changes to the recipe:
I have only tested these cookies using coconut sugar but I expect other sugars would work similarly.
I highly recommend buying cookie scoops! They make portioning cookies, muffins, and cupcakes so much easier! I used cookie scoops all the time when I worked at a vegan bakery and I've never gone back.
Cookie scoops make perfectly identical cookies and can help keep your hands clean when baking.
Store these cookies in in an air-tight container at room temperature.
You can also freeze these cookies. Place in a zip top bag and freeze for up to six months.
These cookies will last 7-10 days if properly stored in an air-tight container.
Jesus, thank you for cookies. Let us treat ourselves AND treat ourselves right with these mocha chip cookies. Amen.
