Almond-Coconut Cookies.




Cookies are so much fun to bake and my little man loves to help mix, clean the beaters, and watch them in the oven. These cookies are great since they are vegan and he can safely eat the batter, gluten free, and refined sugar free!

Besides my peanut butter cookies these are becoming a staple in our house and are in their way there in our friends homes as well!

Almond-Coconut Cookies
Gluten free, vegan
* ¾ cup almond flour, firmly packed 
* ¼ cup coconut flour, firmly packed 
* 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
* ½ teaspoon sea salt
* Dash cinnamon 
* ½ cup coconut oil, melted
* ¼ cup maple syrup
* ¼ cup honey
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup dark chocolate chips/chunks

1. Mix together almond and coconut flours with the baking soda, salt and cinnamon. 
2. Pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, honey, and vanilla extract
3. Stir in the chocolate chunks
4. Preheat oven to 350*
5. Place dough in freezer for 10-15min (I mix my dough in the kitchen aid so I just place the whole bowl in the freezer)
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
7. Roll dough into 1in balls and place 1.5in apart from each other
8. Bake for 12min
9. When you remove them from the oven leave on the baking sheet for 5min then carefully slide parchment paper onto a cooling rack - the cookies are fragile but completely firm up once cooled (however they are delicious and ooey-gooey out of the oven!)
10. Store in an airtight container in the counter for up to 1wk

Yield 24-36 cookies depending on how evenly you roll the cookies.
