flourless chocolate chip cookies
These are my favourite cookies ever. They use almond meal instead of wheat flour – making them super moist so they melt in your mouth! They are my new go to quick baking fix ! – highly recommend 🙂
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond meal (you can make your own by finely grinding up raw almonds)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (softened)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (I used 1 tsp Manuka honey)
- 1 egg (for vegan -use 1/2 cup pureed ripe banana/apple sauce
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 fine Himalayan salt
- 1/4 chopped nuts
- 1/2 c dark chocolate chips (I use organic, 80% cacao chocolate chopped into bits)
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C
- In a large bowl, mix the almond meal, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together
- In another bowl whisk the egg and coconut oil together with the vanilla extract and sweetener
- Mix the wet and dry bowls until sticky and well combined
- Gently fold in most of the nuts and chocolate chips ( sprinkle the rest on top of the cookies before they are put in the oven)
- Scoop out tablespoons of mixture and roll into balls – flatten slightly and place about 3cm apart on a baking tray lined with a baking sheet
- Press raw cookies gently with a fork, then sprinkle leftover chocolate chips and nuts)
- Cook at 180C for approximately 10 minutes (for softer cookies, cook for less time)
ENJOY!
(should make about 12 cookies)
