Chocolate Chip Cookies
addapted with gratefulness from elanaspantry.com
I must admit: I used to make cookies years and years ago and then healthy eating came along and those recipes didn’t taste good enough to waste the time making……………..until I found this one. ~ Dani
Dry Ingredients
2 1/2 cups Honeyville Almond Flour (I found this at a store in our area called Costcos. It seems to be a finer almond flour to work with.)
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
1/2 cup Ghee (or Coconut Oil)
1/2 cup agave nectar
Mix in at end
1 cup dark chocolate (72% or higher)
Instructions:
1. Mix the dry ingredients in a big bowl
2. Mix the wet ingredients in smaller bowl
3. Mix the two sets together
4. Prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper
5. Place 1/2 inch balls of the dough on paper and press
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes
Tips:
I used a 72% dark chocolate bar and broke it into pieces to yield about 1/2 cup of pieces. Next time I will use the whole 1 cup as called for, as it was so very good. I broke it using a mortar and pestle little set I had for crushing vitamins. Some of my pieces came out fairly big, but were so good that way.
My test was to see if this recipe would pass the test of an 8 year old particular eating grandson, an almost 2 year old baby and a daughter. All LOVED these cookies. Of course, John is not particular and he really liked them too. We had them with our newly found Vanilla Bean Fabufit Paleo Ice Cream.
