Laurie's Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Laurie's Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe is from our friend Laurie at Food For Primal Thought and teacher extraordinaire. If you are interested in learning more about Primal/Paleo lifestyle templates [and some great recipes], take a look 'round her blog. Good stuff! Be sure to check out the Frizzled Spicy Beef.
If there was room on the recipe title bar, I would've used her name for this cookie. I think you'll agree "Gluten-free Not-So-Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies That Don't Taste Like Crap" is a much more creative [and descriptive] name.
These cookies have the ideal cookie texture for me - crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups almond flour (Honeyville - gluten-free certified according to packaging)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar with 1 tblsp water (just enough to create the consistency of honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325.
Mix together the dry ingredients: almond flour, baking soda & salt.
Mix together the wet ingredients: sugar, vanilla, egg, melted butter.
Combine dry and wet ingredients, then add chocolate chips.
Place tablespoon sized dough balls on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 for 14 -15 minutes or until edges lightly GBD (Golden Brown & Delicious).
After removing from the oven, allow cookies to cool slightly before removing from pan.
Until the next good eats - cook well and be well.
