I’m a sucker for sweet and savory baked goods. These cookies are delightfully crispy, crunchy and perfectly balanced between sweet and savory. The sea salt plantain chips really make these special! These are the perfect addition to your holiday cookie jar or dessert spread and are also great year round.

Here are the main ingredients in these ‘Chocolate’ Plantain Chip cookies

  • roasted carob powder (can substitute cacao powder if not AIP)
  • palm shortening
  • cassava flour
  • maple syrup
  • vanilla extract
  • sea salt plantain chips -I used Artisan Tropics Sea Salt Plantain Strips
  • coconut oil
  • coconut butter

FAQs about these ‘Chocolate’ Plantain Chip Cookies

Can I substitute the palm shortening?

Palm shortening is key in this recipe to mimic butter. I haven’t tried coconut oil cannot guarantee it would yield the same results in these cookies. You can purchase palm shortening here.

How do I store these cookies?

These cookies last 4-5 days stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry area like your kitchen countertop or store in the fridge for up to a week.

Can I make these coconut free?

Coconut oil and coconut butter are necessary here for the ‘chocolate’ sauce to harden. If you wanted to make the cookie without the plantain chips, then they’ll be coconut-free.

Description

These ‘Chocolate’ Plantain Chip cookies are thin, light, crispy, and so addictive. They’re the perfect chocolate wafer with a sweet and savory twist and they’re also AIP, paleo and vegan!


Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1/4 cup + 2 TBSP palm shortening  
  • 3 TBSP maple syrup 
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 3 TBSP cassava flour
  • 2 TBSP roasted carob powder (or cacao powder for non AIP) 
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cups sea salt plantain chips, crushed   

Carob sauce 

  • 1 TBSP coconut oil
  • 2 TBSP coconut butter
  • 1 TBSP roasted carob powder 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F 
  2. Add palm shortening, maple syrup and vanilla extract to a stand or hand held mixer and mix until combined. 
  3. In a large bowl add cassava flour, carob powder, baking soda and sea salt and mix until combined. Make a well in the center and add in palm shortening mixture. Use a fork and then your hands to combine ingredients into a ball of dough.
  4. Remove dough from bowl and place between two pieces of parchment paper.
  5. Use a rolling pin to roll out dough to a rectangle 1/8 -1/4 inch in thickness 
  6. Refrigerate rolled out dough for 7-8 mins.
  7. Use a cookie cutter of desired size/shape to cut out cookies.
  8. Carefully transfer parchment paper with cookies to a large baking sheet.
  9. Bake in middle rack of oven for 12- 13 minutes.
  10. Once the cookies are out of the oven, allow them to cool completely before handling or they will break.*
  11. Place 2 cups sea salt plantain chips into a large ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush chips. 
  12. To make ‘chocolate’ sauce, combine coconut oil and coconut butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in carob powder. 
  13. Once cookies are completely cool, dip half of each cookie into sauce (or spread onto half the cookie using a knife) and then dip into crushed plantain chips. 

Notes

* These cookies will be incredibly fragile once out the oven before they have cooled. I do not suggest moving them off the cookie sheet until they have cooled.

    I am so grateful for these cookies, thank you for this recipe! Loving the texture of the cookies themselves, which are especially delightful after their dip in the carob sauce + plantain chips.
