These cookies are gluten free, dairy free, and offer an egg free option (that's the one I used). They taste awesome and satisfy your sweet tooth without the refined sugar and flour.
Kate's Almond Cookies
1 cup almond meal/flour (here's a link for how to make your own)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chocolate chips (I used cacao nibs)
1 tsp vanilla extract (I used half vanilla and half almond because I ran out of vanilla)
1 egg (or this handy egg substitute - 1 tbsp of ground flax or chia seeds with 3 tbsp of water, let it thicken up for about 15 minutes)
Directions:
1. Mix the almond meal, chips and honey together.
2. Stir in all other ingredients.
3. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350. Watch carefully!
I used my small Pampered Chef cookie scoop, which holds 1 tablespoon, and I got 16 cookies for 75 calories a piece.
Thanks, Kate, for this easy and healthy recipe!
when i was gluten free i remember learning about "egg substitutes" like what u used. glad to know it actually works ;) gives me a reason to use my chia seeds and flax meal i have taking up space in the cabinet...
