remember those old commercials "sometimes i just feel like a nut"? well sometimes i just feel like a cookie but without the guilt. this is a quick, simple recipe that is wheat free and can easily be sugar and dairy free, too. feel free to add your favorite nuts, dried fruits or coconut flakes. these cookies are not sweet like commercial cookies but do the job when one just feels like a cookie.
almond/chocolate chip wheat free cookies
ingredients:
1 1/2 cups almond flour (can replace some of the almond flour with ground flaxseed)
1/4 cup softened butter or coconut oil
1/4 cup coconut palm sugar, honey or maple syrup (about 4 packets of stevia will also work)-i would suggest using a smaller quantity of the honey or maple syrup as they are sweeter than the sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
sliced almonds, bitter sweet, gluten free chocolate chips (80% dark is healthiest)
preheat oven to 375
line a baking sheet with parchment paper
beat the butter and sugars together
add egg-mix
add the rest of the ingredients except for the nuts and chips-mix
add the nuts and chips, mix by hand
drop by spoonfuls onto the baking sheet, slightly flatten with a fork and bake for about 12 minutes.
this recipe makes about 14 cookies so if you try it and like it-make double and enjoy.
