Chocolate Chip Cookies


These chocolate chip cookies are THE BEST grain-free cookies ever! In my gluten-eating days, I made homemade chocolate chip cookies all the time - probably once a week. They were delicious, but they were making me sick! These gluten-free, corn-free, processed sugar-free chocolate chip cookies taste incredible, and are healthy too. I worked on this recipe for weeks to get it just right, and hope you enjoy it! (And just a warning, the cookie dough is amazing - don't eat too much or you won't have any cookies!)

Chocolate Chip Cookies
1½ cups Almond Flour
½ cup Coconut Flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder (I make my own so that it is corn free)
1½ cups Coconut Sugar
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract (Make your own!)
3/4 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life - they are soy free!)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter and coconut sugar on medium speed.
4. Add eggs and vanilla and continue beating on medium speed until smooth.
5. Reduce speed to low, and gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
6. Stir in chocolate chips.
7. Scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet, 2 inches apart, using a cookie scoop. Flatten the cookies with your hand - they will not spread on their own.
8. Bake for 13 - 17 minutes.
9. Cool and serve.

Makes 2½ dozen cookies
