Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 100–105g Organic All Purpose Flour (I used Organic King Arthur All Purpose Flour)
- 100g Coconut Sugar
- 40g Melted Organic Refined Coconut Oil
- 27g Pastured Egg (Roughly 1/2 egg)
- 30g Sourdough Starter (must be active starter)
- 2g Sea Salt
- 1/8 + 1/16 TSP Baking Soda
- 1/2 Dark Chocolate Bar, Chunks (I used Evolved)
Instructions
- PREPARE EGG: In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg and add using a spoon add 27g to a medium bowl.
- ADD FIRST INGREDIENTS: Melt coconut oil until it becomes liquid (warm but not hot). Now add coconut sugar, sourdough starter, salt, and coconut oil to the medium bowl (with the egg).
- MIX: Using a spoon, mix ingredients together until combined.
- ADD AND COMBINE: Now add flour, chocolate chunks, and baking soda. Using the back of your spoon and/or your hands combine all ingredients until you form a ball.
- STORE DOUGH: Place your dough covered in a small Tupperware or wrap it in saran wrap. Be sure the dough is tightly sealed so it doesn’t become dry on the outside.
- FERMENT DOUGH: Ferment your covered dough (at room temperature) on your counter for 10+ hours. You can ferment overnight or during the day, whatever works best for your schedule.
- PREHEAT OVEN: When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350f.
- DIVIDE COOKIES: Divide and roll cookie dough into 10-12 cookies, depending on how large you want your cookies to be. I like each cookie to weigh around 20-30g.
- BAKE: Place on a baking sheet and press the center down slightly. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look soft.
- LET COOKIES COOL: Remove from the oven and let cookies fully cool on the baking sheet. Enjoy!

Hi Jesha,
This title says chocolate chip cookies, but the recipe is for the Macademia nut cookie ice cream sandwiches. Is it the same, but just replace the nuts and white chocolate with regular chocolate? Thanks! 🙂
Hi Lora! I just saw this too! I’m updating it now. But yes, exactly 🙂
Hi ! These tasted so good ! I wanted to ask if you recommend any substitute for coconut ? I absolutely love it but my sisters don’t like them so I wanted to make a batch without if that’s even possible … the consistency was AMAZING
Hi Muna! Thank you so much! Refined coconut oil should have no flavor if that’s why they don’t like coconut. You could use butter instead just add an additional 5-10g for this recipe. You might have to tweak it slightly because I have not tested it with butter. Keep me posted if you do try this out!! Thanks again!
Is it ok to leave the dough out because it contains raw egg?
Yes, definitely! The acidity of sourdough fermentation creates the perfect environment 🙂
