Notes

Expert Tips

  • Make the cookies around the same size so they bake evenly.
  • Use a cookie scoop to place the dough on the tray. (It's so much easier!)
  • Bake the cookies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet to avoid sticking.
  • Measure the coconut oil first, and then melt it.
  • Run the eggs under warm water for a couple minutes to make sure they're room temperature.
