The Best Chocolate Chunk Kid Cookies EVER!

I just started coaching the youth MTB program at Team Summit. Here I am teaching kids the basic mountain bike skills to help them become lifelong riders. With cycling coaching also comes teaching good nutrition habits. Chocolate chunk cookies we’re the answer to keeping the kids motivated, moving and happy.

So when life hands you 24 kids on a Tuesday night mountain bike practice, you give them these cookies. Plain and simple. No questions asked. These cookies were so loved by the kids, I had one of them agree to pick weeds around my garden for the summer in exchange for payment made by cookies. Another wanted to try and plant a single cookie in my garden to grow it into an endless supply. After asking for help to name these cookies I got a simple answer, “The Best Chocolate Chunk Cookies EVER.”

I don’t want to single these cookies out just for kids either. Parents will love them just as much. These cookies are made with simple ingredients. Pamela's baking mix flour, coconut sugar and melted coconut oil make for the perfect combo of carbs and healthy fats. And the chocolate chunks will never, ever fail a hungry kid after a day of practice out on the trails. Make sure to double the batch, they’ll go faster than you can open the bag.

Ingredients

Wet ingredients

• 3/4 cup coconut sugar

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 Tbsp flaxseed

• 3 Tbsp almond milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)

• 1/3 cup melted and cooled coconut oil

Dry ingredients

• 2 cups Pamela's Gluten-Free Pancake and Baking Mix (If you don’t have this sub any other all-purpose baking flour OR 1 cup almond flour and 1 cup oat flour )

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup chocolate chunks

• Flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, vanilla, flaxseed and almond milk until well combined and wet. Next, whisk in the melted and cooled coconut oil until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

Add the dry ingredients to the bowl: flour, baking soda and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. Fold in chocolate chunks.

Use a medium cookie dough scoop to grab cookie dough, or use your hands to grab about 2 Tbsp of dough and roll it into a ball. Place cookie dough 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to prevent cookies from baking into each other. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt on top when done. Allow cookies to sit on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan. You should get approximately 15 cookies.
