Ingredients
Wet ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, or (grass-fed butter) softened at room temperature
- 1 large egg (pasture-raised)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup almond butter, creamy
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups (200 grams) almond flour, super fine
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (unsweetened baking chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small ramekin, soften coconut oil by placing it in the microwave and set aside. In a medium-large baking bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla, and date paste. Add in the creamy almond butter and cooled coconut oil and whisk again into other wet ingredients.
- In another medium bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Pour mixture into wet ingredients and mix until dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls using your hands, or a cookie scooper. Place cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are a golden brown color. Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy!
Notes
Tip! If chocolate chips are sticking to the dough, due to the coconut oil, mold them with your hands.
Almond butter: make sure almond butter is runny, and drippy. Look for oil sitting on top of the almond butter when it’s in the jar.
Coconut oil: if your coconut oil becomes too melted, put it in the fridge to soften for 5-15 minutes, or until it is like softened butter.
Storage: Store in an airtight container or the fridge for up to one week.
