Chocolate Chip Cookies

Made these 21 Day Fix approved chocolate chip cookies on a rainy day and were delicious! Very moist, fluffy, and yummy.

Ingredients:

3 cups almond flour

1tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey

1 large egg

2 large egg whites (1/4 cup)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet (or dark) chocolate chips

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2.  Combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.  Mix well and set aside.
3.  Put oil and maple syrup (or honey) together in a large mixer bowl.  Beat until creamy, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
4.  Add the egg, egg whites, and vanilla extract and beat for another 2 minutes.
5.  Gradually add the almond flour mixture to egg mixture.  Mix well until blended.
6.  Mix chocolate chips into batter.
7.  By rounded tablespoons, drop onto prepared baking sheet. (I line my baking sheets with parchment paper so easy clean up.)

8.  Bake for 14 - 16 minutes or until golden brown.  (My oven was hotter so they cooked in about 8 minutes).
9.  Remove from baking sheet onto cooling rack immediately after taken out of oven. Enjoy!
10.  Make sure to store cookies in an airtight container.
