So, I got locked out of this blog and couldn't figure out how to get back in for three years. True story. That's how lazy this lion can be. I asked for a little help (it was a google thing I think, too much for my non-computer brain).
Since I never forget a poets birthday, we're celebrating Jim Morrison's birthday today with music and cookies!
And since I try and come up with good gluten-free recipes but haven't had a good chocolate chip cookie I was determined to find one. I think this one I found online is a winner! I scored a bunch of coconut flour and made disastrous pancakes the other week so I was afraid my attempts at gf were a fail. Well I think I've nailed it with these chocolate chip cookies.
I hope you like!! Enjoy~
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 flax eggs (3 T ground flax + 4-5 T water)
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Method:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flax and water to create flax eggs if not done already. Set aside to let gel for approx 5min.
Step 2
Add all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix (excluding chocolate chips). Next, add all wet ingredients including flax eggs to dry ingredients and combine until dough is formed. Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 3
Roll into 10-12 balls, place on a baking sheet and flatten to desired thickness (these will not flatten on their own in the oven). *The thicker your cookies are, the longer they will need in the oven.
Step 4
Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown crust forms on the outer layer. Let cool completely before eating (otherwise they will fall apart easily).
