Ingredients
¾ cup (≈ 90 g) white whole wheat flour (or gluten‑free flour)
¼ cup (≈ 20 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp salt
3 tbsp (≈ 45 ml) pure maple syrup, room temperature
2½ tbsp (≈ 37 ml) water, room temperature
1 tsp coconut oil, melted
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Form a well in the center.
Add maple syrup, water, and melted coconut oil in that order. Stir until fully combined—use a fork if needed for better mixing.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface (or silicone mat) and roll to about 1/16″ (≈2 mm) thickness.
Use a mini teddy bear cookie cutter to cut shapes. Transfer cut‑outs to prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake 15–20 minutes until crispy. Cool completely on the baking sheet to set.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature—they keep for at least one week
