First, heat treat your flour either in the oven or the microwave.
For the microwave: heat your flour in a bowl in 30 second increments until a food thermometer inserted into the flour reads 165 degrees F.
For the oven: spread your flour in a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (or a very clean cookie sheet pan without residue spots) and put in a 350 degree F oven for about 5 minutes.
Cool the flour completely before proceeding.
In a medium bowl, beat together the palm oil, powdered sugar, rice milk, and vanilla with a hand mixer.
Beat in the flour, salt, and mini chocolate chips until a thick dough forms. The dough should be thick and not sticky.
Roll about 1 Tablespoon of cookie dough into an egg shape, and chill for up to 30 minutes to firm up. Don't leave these too long in the fridge or they can dry out a bit.
While the cookie dough eggs are chilling, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted. If you want a thicker coating of chocolate, use 1 teaspoon coconut oil. If you want a thin coating of chocolate, use 1 Tablespoon coconut oil.
Dip the cookie dough eggs in the chocolate and let them set up either at room temp or in the fridge (for faster setting use the fridge).
These have the best texture when they are served and stored at room temperature in a sealed container. If you chilled these to let the chocolate set, allow them to sit at room temp for about 15 minutes to soften the dough before eating.
Enjoy!
Notes
Storing these in the fridge will firm up the dough and make it seem dry. Store these at room temp for the best texture. If you store these in the fridge, let them set at room temp for 15 minutes before eating for the best texture.*The coconut oil is optional with the chocolate, it slightly thins the chocolate making it easier for dipping easier, but can also make the chocolate melt easier.
