Healthy Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin coconut oil melted (If you don't have a dairy sensitively, you can certainly substitute grass-fed butter.)
  • 1/3 cup grade B maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder cocoa powder, or Earthley's Cocoa Calm (cocoa powder is more nourishing and gives a deeper flavor)
  • 2 tbsp. almond milk

Optional Add-Ins (I recommend choosing only one)

  • 2 tbsp. mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp. cacao nibs
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp. sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp. dried cherries or cranberries

Instructions

  • Stir ingredients together in a large bowl, adding optional ingredients last (if using).
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon balls onto a silicone mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten each dough ball.
  • Bake at 350ºF degrees for 12 minutes. Allow to cool on a baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
