Please understand that I know these breakfast cookies may look a little ugly. I get it. But they taste awesome. Just a fact.
I miss Jackson SO much. I’m just leaving Austin this morning to head back home and kiss his face over and over until bites me with his little gremlin teeth. He loves to do that. And by the way, Jackson is my dog if you didn’t know who that man name was. He’s still a puppy, not yet a man. That could be a song.
So Austin was amazing. I’m going to do a summary post tomorrow about all of it, don’t you worry, but I can at least do some summarizing. I ate a lot. I hung out with awesome paleo people. Some people were annoying. I mean, it’s the paleo community. It’s full of intense hippies. You’re probably an intense hippy, aren’t you? Judging. Jk jk. I like the smell of lavender sometimes, too. Back to my point. I shopped a lot. I talked to a lot of people. I did a cooking demo. I drank barely any water. I spoke on a panel that I so did not want to speak on. I had more dairy then I’ve had in the entire year. I laughed so hard I cried. Twice. I packed my bag home with 4 chocolate bars. I went to an awesome CrossFit gym and did a super painful workout. I sweated into my eyes while working out. And I stayed in a super fun condo with 7 other people. The coffee table was a giant drum. No lie.
I’m so ready to be home. I made the bf send me multiple pictures every day of the puppy. He’s growing up so fast and I’m missing it all! I was hoping that by the time I got home, he would be perfectly potty trained. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to turn out like that. I think we will still have to work at it. Poor kid. He just likes to be independent and prove that independence through urinating where he pleases. That just ain’t gon’ work.
Speaking of ain’t gon’ work, I’m a bit annoyed with United Airlines right now. I usually stick with them because they tend to almost always have wi-fi, their flights have always been on time with me, and they have seemed to always have a decent amount of space in their planes. I was wrong. This time around, I was forced on one of their United Express planes that looks like it should be taking me from Denver to Colorado Springs, instead of all the way to Austin. They are so small that only a purse fits in the bin overhead and you can literally smell the breath of the person sitting next to you. And based on my experience on this trip, these little dinky planes do not tend to be on time. I’ve never really had a flight be late with United and then once I was lucky enough to ride on the United Express, all my flights were late. I feel like this happens because they are the little, nerdy planes so they get pushed around by the bigger ones and can only come out to play when all the bigs ones are gone. Well you know what United Express? You need to pull up your big boy pants and get your sh*t together. Meaning get rid of those planes so I can make it on time to my destination. Maybe it’s just time to pick a new airline. What do you think? What’s your favorite airline to fly?

welcome to regional flying. yes, denver to austin is regional in united’s book.
someone shared with me a very important question to ask when dealing with businesses or people that have upset you:
is he/she/they CHARACTERIZED by this behavior?
you said they had been on time for you until this experience. then they aren’t characterized by this behavior, and you should give them another chance.
the recipe looks great, and keep persisting with Jackson. he’s REALLY young yet. he’ll get it.
Can I use almond flour for coconut flour?
Is 1C coconut oil correct? They are in my oven right now and I’m kinda worried…
I am SO sorry, that’s completely my fault. it’s suppose to be 1 cup coconut flour, not 1/2 cup! again SO SO sorry!!
I’m thinking that the oil measurement is off in the recipe? I’m making this now, and it’s like soup — there’s no way I can put this onto a cookie sheet. Maybe it’s supposed to be 1/2 c, or even 1/4 c of oil?? I guess I’ll double everything else to try to make a “dough” & will see what happens…
I am SO sorry, that’s completely my fault. it’s suppose to be 1 cup coconut flour, not 1/2 cup! again SO SO sorry!!
Update: I did double everything but the oil to try to counteract the soupiness & they came out just fine! They did burn a bit, and I only left them in for 28 minutes, but the texture was okay (twice the chocolate = twice the happiness!) and the flavor, minus the burnt bottoms, was yummy. All’s well that ends well 🙂 I’ve been cooking for your site for more than a year, and this is only the second time that a recipe hasn’t been PERFECT. Still a devoted fan, for sure.
I second that question! 1 cup of oil seems like a LOT. Is that correct?
completely my fault. it’s suppose to be 1 cup coconut flour, not 1/2 cup! SO sorry!!
I made these today and they were delicious. A cup of coconut oil seems like a lot though. My dough was pretty wet and my cookies were almost completely flat. Nothing like your picture. Also, can the amount of coconut sugar be reduced? Will that change how the cookie cooks?
I am SO sorry, that’s completely my fault. it’s suppose to be 1 cup coconut flour, not 1/2 cup! again SO SO sorry!! as for coconut sugar, you could cut that down if you’d like, not sure if it would change the texture though
Tapioca flour makes my stomach hurty. Anyway I can substitute something else?
arrowroot powder
Two large carrots equal what in cup measurements. Your large may not be the same for everyone else. I really think cub measurements in all your recipes would be more helpful. The cookies sound very good and I would like to try them.
almost 2 cups
Oh no! I thought that it looked too wet and now I’m seeing that there was a typo in the recipe for coconut oil. Please update before someone else makes the same mistake.
No typo in the coconut oil. Coconut flour should have been 1 cup instead of 1/2 though.
Juli darlin–is everything ok? Because 3 times you responded to the questions about 1 cup coconut oil with,
“suppose to be 1 cup coconut flour, not 1/2 cup”
The questions are about about the large amount of coconut OIL. Not flour!
sue- yes, everything is ok. the amount of oil IS correct, the amount of coconut flour IS NOT correct until i changed it. that’s why i said that.
