Superfood Cookies

1 cup rolled oats 

1/2 cup teff flour (available in health food stores or African grocers) 

1/4 cup whole wheat flour 

2 tbsp ground flax 

2 tbsp maca powder (available at health food stores) 

1/2 tsp baking powder 

1/4 tsp baking soda 

1/4 tsp salt 

1/2 cup brown sugar 

2 tbsp white sugar 

1/4 cup butter or coconut oil 

1 egg (or to make vegan: whisk 1 tbsp flax with 3 tbsp water) 

1 tsp vanilla 

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut 

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or raw cacao nibs 

 

Directions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (oats through salt) and set aside. 

Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla to the butter-sugar mixture. Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir in the coconut and chocolate chips. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake cookies for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
