Ingredients

¼ cup coconut flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
10 ounce package of 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Sea Salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Start by placing a heat proof bowl over a pot of water. Heat on medium low and pour 1 ½ cups of the chocolate chips and the butter into the bowl. Stir occasionally until all the chips and butter are melted.
In a separate bowl combine the coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until blended. Set aside.
In a large measuring cup whisk the two whole eggs with the ½ cup sugar until blended. Set aside.
Check the chocolate and butter mixture and when it is completely melted, remove the pan from the heat.
Slowly whisk the beaten egg and sugar mixture into the chocolate and butter. Continue whisking until all eggs are added and incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and then blend in the flour mixture. All the batter to cool for a few minutes before adding the remaining chocolate chips. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Scoop rounded tablespoons of batter and place on a silpat mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle each with a pinch of sea salt. Bake for about 7-8 minutes or until the outside looks slightly cracked.
Do not over bake. The cookies should be soft and gooey in the center. Cool on the baking sheet for five minutes then remove to a rack. Cool completely.
