Notes
We have made these cookies with ¼ cup of coconut sugar and ⅓ cup of ruby chips and enjoyed the less-sweet version too. If you substitute less-sweet chocolate chips or cacao nibs, you may wish to increase the coconut sugar to as much as ¾ cup.
The cookie dough freezes well and is worth making a double batch to keep half on hand for future cookies. Be sure to let it defrost for 30 minutes to allow the coconut oil to soften.
