Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (softened (not melted))
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer bowl, cream together softened butter, coconut oil, brown sugar, and cane sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing for 1 minute until smooth and well combined.
  • Add almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium for 1-2 minutes until the dough is smooth and uniform.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and shape into a flat disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the chilled dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if refrigerated for over an hour. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Cut out desired shapes. Carefully slide the parchment with the cut-outs onto a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape during baking.
  • Transfer the frozen shapes to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set. Let cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Repeat with remaining dough. Frost or enjoy as is. You've made delicious gluten-free chocolate cookies!

Notes

- For best results and easy handling, ensure your butter and coconut oil are softened but not melted.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for shaping; don't skip this step!
- Internal cookie temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
