Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

This one's for Nova!  We are both chocolate chip cookie lovers, so it was necessary to find us a suitable recipe for times when afternoon treats are required.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup granular xylitol
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• A pinch of sea salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup organic butter (or coconut oil), melted
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped are good too
• 1 cup 73%+ organic dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Method

• Combine all dry ingredients (except chocolate chips and almonds) in a bowl and form a well in the middle.
• In separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well until combined, the mixture will be a bit crumbly. 
• Fold in chocolate chips and almonds.
• Form 1 inch balls of batter, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and gently press down into small discs.  Keep in mind that the shape you form is the shape they will bake as.  These cookies don't puff up or melt down, so try to make them a little bit pretty!
• Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
• Cool (they're very delicate when they are warm) and enjoy with a cold glass of almond milk.
