Bursting with antioxidant-rich cacao on the inside and coconut sugar sweetness on the outside, these chocolate crinkle cookies are a Paleo dessert dream!
Making these chocolate crinkle cookies could not be easier! To start, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, coconut sugar and salt. Then in a separate bowl, sift together the coconut flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Add the flour to the wet mixture with the coconut oil and dark chocolate chips. The batter will be moist and silky. Just what you want for a soft and chewy cookie!
Next, shape the batter into balls with your hands. Then roll each ball over a Paleo sugar dusting made from tapioca flour and coconut sugar mixed together (that’s the Paleo hack to making powdered sugar!). The wet cookie batter soaks up the coconut sugar sweetness and the tapioca flour helps it stick to the batter while it bakes, giving the outside of the cookies that signature crinkle cookie crunch.

Once the balls are ready, place them on a prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them with your fingers to form a cookie. Bake for 10 minutes and serve these chocolate crinkle cookies immediately. I’m sure that won’t be a problem because the fudgy inside is irresistible!
