Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to use softened coconut oil. If the coconut oil is too hard, the cookies will be dense and difficult to roll out.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
- The cookies will continue to bake on the hot baking sheet for a few minutes after being removed from the oven. Be sure to remove them from the baking sheet as soon as they begin to brown to prevent overcooking.
