    In a large bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil - make sure it’s not hot, it should be melted but closer to room temperature - coconut sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth and creamy like a caramel sauce (approx. 1-2 minutes)

    Use a tablespoon to scoop out dough and then roll mixture in to a ball. Place on baking paper and very gently use the underside of two fingers to press down and flatten slightly. (They will spread only a small amount, so allow room between each cookie.)

  • 7

    Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes or until the edges start to brown slightly.

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before using a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
