Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep time: 10 minutes  Cook time: 14 minutes 

Ingredients: 

3 cups almond flour - I recommend Trader Joe's Brand for cost savings 

1 tsp baking soda 

1/4 tsp sea salt 

1/4 cup coconut oil, organic 

1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey 

1 large egg

2 large egg whites (1/4 cup) 

1tsp pure vanilla extract 

1/2 cup semi - sweet or dark chocolate chips 

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. Combine almond flour, baking soda and salt.  Mix and set aside.

4. Beat oil and syrup or honey in a large mixer bowl and blend for 4-5 mins.  Add egg, egg whites and vanilla, beat for 2 minutes.

5. Add almond flour mixture to egg mixture and mix until blended.  Fold in chocolate chips 

6. Use cookie scooper and drop rounded tbsp sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet.  Flatten cookies with fingers to give flatter cookie appearance as these cookies will not flatten.  

7. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.  Enjoy!!
