I have been feeling great since mostly giving up grains and sugars but sometimes you just need a treat. I have been making chocolate chip cookies as my go to treat for over 20 years now. (I'm not old I just started baking early!) I need to come up with some delicious grain free treats that the whole family will eat so I surfed the blogs to find a good cookie recipe. I was inspired by this blog so I went with my 6 year old to make them, however it just didn't seem right to my bakers mind that there were no eggs in the cookies. So I started tweaking it and I ended up with these.
Grain Free, Almond Coconut and Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mix together until well blended.
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup butter
Add and mix until well blended.
1 egg
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 tsp. almond extract
3/4 tsp vanilla
Add and mix.
1 cup dried unsweetened coconut
Add and mix.
1/3 cup chocolate chips (or raisins, dates nuts etc.)
Scoop out 1 Tbsp sized balls and press down slightly on baking sheet with fingers. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-11 min until the bottom of the cookie is golden brown. Makes 32 1 Tbsp sized cookies.
The 2nd batch baking.
For the first batch we baked 12 and they went fast!
