Almond flour and non-dairy chocolate chips give this cookie a twist to the traditional. Great to give as a gift for your next cookie exchange.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two sheet trays with parchment paper and set aside. Fit the Food Processor with the Multi-Use Blade.
  2. Place the almond flour, coconut flours and baking powder into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Pulse 6-8 times to incorporate. Remove the lid and add the maple syrup, coconut oil and applesauce. Secure the lid. Start the machine and process for 30-35 seconds.
  3. Remove the lid and the multi-use blade. Add the chocolate chips to the batter, scraping down the sides and incorporating the chips into the dough. Scoop 1 1/2 ounce dough balls onto the prepared sheet tray and flatten to about 3" thick.
  4. Place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool for approximately 10 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

This vegan and gluten free chocolate chip cookie is lower in added sugar and higher in protein and fiber than its traditional counterpart, and still packs a ton of yummy flavor. The cookie will not spread out like a traditional cookie, if you would like a thinner cookie flatten them more before baking. This dough freezes well and is great to be given as a great holiday gift.
