Maca Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time:  20 minutes | Serves: 12-15 cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend (you can use a pre-made blend or make your own with a combination of gluten-free flours like almond flour, brown rice flour, and tapioca flour)

1/4 cup Earths Basket Cacao Powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup Earths Basket Cacao Nibs

1/4 cup Earths Basket Cacao butter

1/2 cup Earths Basket Coconut Sugar or other granulated sweetener of choice

1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon Earths Basket Maca Powder

1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (for vegan version) OR regular chocolate chips (for non-vegan version)

Method:

STEP 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.


STEP 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt.


STEP 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted cacao butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup (or agave nectar), vanilla extract, and maca powder. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.


STEP 4

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. Fold in the cacao nibs and chocolate chips.


STEP 5

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your hand.


STEP 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven but will firm up as they cool.


STEP 7

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.


STEP 8

Enjoy your delicious Maca Chocolate Chip Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.

Note: Maca powder has a distinct flavor, so if you're not familiar with it, you might want to start with a smaller amount and adjust to your taste preferences. Additionally, always check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free and vegan if that's your dietary preference.
