Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sunday, July 20, 2014

Summertime in Colorado is usually very hot and sunny which makes it hard to spend too much time in the house and baking. This week was a bit uncharacteristic of typical Colorado July weather. We had two days in a row of high 60 degree temps and rain. It was a nice little break and allowed us to bake and play in the kitchen a bit.
Since giving up sugar and most grains, I find myself experimenting with cookie recipes for the kids. I usually just tweak traditional recipes. Sometimes they are great and other times they are just experiments that we don't repeat.
This week's recipe was a hit!

Almond Flour Choc. Chip Cookies
1 1/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup choc chips or cacao nibs for sugar free
1/2 cup unsweetend coconut flakes
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
3 tbsp coconut oil melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients and then slowly add and mix the wet ingredients. Once all is equally blended, spoon 1 inch balls onto baking sheet. Bake for about 7-10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Cool and serve!

My batch lasted less than an hour!
