Almond & Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made these for my youngest daughter this morning, as she is home sick. These little beauties are gluten and egg free - great for anyone with food sensitivities.



Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups almond meal
2 tbsp coconut flour (GF flour will also work)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup oil (I used coconut - olive and grapeseed are ok too)
1/2 cup coconut syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup dark chocolate, coarsely chopped




Method:

Heat your oven to 180C and line a couple of baking trays with baking paper.
Mix together the almond meal, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, syrup and vanilla extract. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mix well. Stir in the chocolate pieces.
Roll into tablespoon size balls and place onto your baking trays, leaving a little room between cookies. Flatten slightly with your hand, then pop into the hot oven for around 10 minutes, or until the cookies are a light, golden colour. Allow to cool for a few minutes, as they will be very soft straight out of the oven.
Enjoy! x
