Chocolate Orange Cookies are my latest paleo/ low carb, experiment that have become a new obsession. These are a lighter cookie with lovely chocolate and orange flavors. My Hubby said " these cookies rock". He is not much for sweets (I know, what is wrong with him). But, he ate most of these.

Ingredients

⅓ cup Coconut Flour where to buy coconut flour

1 tbsp Orange Zest ( grated orange peel use a micro plane or fine grater).
1 tsp Organic Orange Extract where to buy orange extract., organic GF kind
cup Sweetener of choice: ⅓ organic Maple Syrup or for low carb use ½ cup erythritol + 25 drops liquid stevia, where to buy stevia, for paleo
¼ cup unsweetened Almond or Coconut milk.
2 tbsp unsweetened Cocoa or cacao powder where to buy cacao powder
½ tsp baking soda + 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar mixed in separate pinch bowl . it will be really fizzy
¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes* optional
¼ Cup dark chocolate chips soy & dairy free (I used this brand), for low carb can use a low carb chocolate bar, chopped).
Optional Topping:
tbsp Can also melt a 1 ½ of dark chocolate chips with a drop or two of orange extract for garnish * both are optional. I also topped with a bit of extra orange zest

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F, and line or grease a baking sheet.
Mix in large bowl: coconut flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, shredded coconut and set aside.
Mix in a separate bowl ; eggs, almond or coconut milk, sweetener of choice ( maple syrup or low carb one, etc.), melted butter or melted coconut oil, orange zest, and orange extract.
Add pre -mixed baking soda + apple cider vinegar mixture to egg / almond milk mixture and stir in well.
Add liquid egg mixture to coconut flour mixture and stir in thoroughly.
Add chocolate chips,( or chopped low carb chocolate bar) and mix in well.
Put bowl of cookie dough in freezer for 10 minutes ( this keeps it from spreading as it bakes) I like to go and wash dishes until the dough is cold.
Spoon onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until some what firm.
Let cool completely, then garnish with optional melted chocolate and orange zest.

Can you tell me if the low-carb dark chocolate chips were semi-sweet, bittersweet, or unsweetened for the carb count listed?

  Desiree, I used Lily's Chocolate - All Natural Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips, they are stevia sweetened dark chocolate chips. I am guessing they are either bittersweet or semisweet. But it did not say on the bag.

I just made a couple of these tgohnit for myself and my 11 year old son. He thought they were yummy, but you're right mom. They need to be a little sweeter. Can we add some sugar next time? But I still like them. Thanks for making me one. Will you make them again? This after I commented that I didn't add any sweetner. Thanks for a simple yet delish recipe that fits in with our way of eating. It's just what I needed tgohnit. =) Kat
