Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil Helps the cookies firm up quickly once chilled
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Adds sweetness and a little caramel depth
  • 1/2 cup nut butter Gives body and creamy richness
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder Main flavor component; stir until fully dissolved
  • 1 cup oats Provides chewiness and makes the dough scoopable

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper for easy removal.
  2. In a small pot over medium heat, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, and nut butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Add the cocoa powder and stir until fully dissolved, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
  4. Stir in the oats until every oat is coated and the mixture becomes thick and scoopable. Avoid boiling.
  5. Drop the mixture into 12 cookie shapes on the prepared sheet. Shape them as neat rounds or mounds while warm.
  6. Freeze for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and can lift off without bending.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for a chewy texture or keep in the freezer for longer storage. Let frozen cookies thaw for a few minutes for the best texture.
