Desserts are something you can and should enjoy, and baking guilt-free cookies is entirely possible. The key is to start with high-quality ingredients. Then, prioritize whole, unrefined products. If you can reduce the amount of sugar and grains in your daily diet, even better. Avoid extreme focus on one food group (like only grains, only greens, or only steaks). A monotonous diet — whether "good" or "bad" — isn’t ideal and can lead to nutritional deficiencies. A varied diet that brings you joy — like these cookies — is exactly the spirit of #ешькакнастя. These cookies are all about coconut and are ready in just 15 minutes (3 minutes of prep and 12 minutes of baking). The matcha can be substituted with cocoa, carob, freeze-dried raspberry powder, or omitted entirely for simple coconut cookies.
- 40 g coconut flour
- 20 g shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp. unrefined coconut sugar
- 2.5 tbsp. softened, unrefined coconut oil
- 1 tsp. matcha powder
- 1 egg
- a pinch of sea salt
- 1/3 tsp. baking soda or baking powder
Mix all the ingredients together. Shape the dough into small balls about the size of a quail egg, flatten them slightly, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 170°C for 12 minutes. Let them cool completely. To preserve the vibrant green color of the matcha, cover the cookies with an additional sheet of parchment paper during baking. And yes, you might want to double the ingredients from the start!
