Chocolate Chip Cookies (Paleo and Vegan)

WE'VE MOVED! Zanecdavis.com

These cookies are almost too good to be true.

They’re grain-free, egg-free and naturally sweetened.

They’re properly combined.

They’re vegan.

They also happen to be incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious–> the kind of cookie that you can whip together the moment a cookie-craving strikes, without suffering from a crazy sugar-crash later! I recommend making a double batch and stashing them in your freezer for “emergencies.”

makes 2 dozen

adapted from this recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups almond meal, or almond flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, softened (non-vegans can use butter)
3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond meal, salt, and baking soda, then add the coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix well.

Fold in the chocolate chips, then drop batter by rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat, or parchment paper.

Bake at 350F for 8-9 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.

Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then serve warm or allow to cool to room temperature. (I actually prefer the taste and texture when served at room temperature, but I’m usually too impatient to wait that long!)

Hope you enjoy them the next time a cookie craving strikes!
