For the Cookies
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks
- 66666667/100000000 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons smooth almond butter (or tahini)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg (vegan, see Note 2)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For the Spice Blend
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Step 1: Stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and spice blend in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Step 2: In another mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat together the coconut sugar, almond butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract at medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute.
- Step 3: Add the egg and beat on low and until just incorporated. Stir in the almond flour mixture. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Step 4: Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes, until firm.
- Step 5: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 6: Roll the chilled dough into 8 to 10 balls. Place on the baking sheet and press down into a thick cookie shape, about 1/2 inch tall. Keep room in between each to allow for spreading.
- Serve: Bake for 11 minutes. These cookies are very soft straight out of the oven, so be sure to let them cool fully before handling them too much. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Note 1: You can substitute the egg with 1 flax egg(s). Combine 1 tablespoon of ground flax meal with 2.5 tablespoons of cold water. Refrigerate for 5 minutes, or until it reaches a gel-like consistency. Keep in mind that the flax egg option will make a slightly less fluffy cookie.
