Organic Coconut Almond Cacao Gluten-Free Cookies

Creator: I Am Zuri

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 1 1/2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

3 cups organic almond flour

1 organic pasture raised egg (for vegan option omit and use flax egg replacement)

7 Tbsp coconut oil (sub 6 Tbsp safflower for coconut oil for less coconut flavor)

6 Tbsp 100% maple syrup

1 cup organic gluten-free dark cacao chocolate chips (or cacao nibs for less sweetness)

½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Place all ingredients except for the egg in a bowl and mix them together with a spoon. Stir the egg in a separate cup to ensure it is fully mixed then add to mixture. If you’re in the winter months you’ll need to soften your coconut oil ahead of adding it to the mix. To do this simply place in a small jar with a lid and place in hot water, alternatively you can put it in a ramekin while you’re preheating your oven to melt it. DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE.*

Scoop cookies into the palm of your hand to make them into balls. This also helps press the oils into the flour and keeps them from crumbling. Place on a buttered cookie sheet and bake in oven for 10 minutes.
