Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
One day I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies, so I looked at the recipe for “The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies” and thought I could make this recipe way healthier. So here it is. My family loves it! Does yours?See notes below on vegan option.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Blanched almond flour
- 0.5 cup Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
- 0.25 cup Arrow root flour
- 0.25 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.4 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil melted
- 2 qty Eggs
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar or Maple syrup, or Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Notes
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Mix dry ingredients, except for sugar/sweetener and chocolate chips, in a bowl.
-
In another bowl, combine melted coconut oil, eggs, sugar/sweetener, and vanilla extract and mix well with a fork.
-
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and thoroughly combine.
-
Add dairy-free chocolate chips and stir in.
-
Using a small cookie dough scoop, scoop small balls of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, keeping enough space in between. I usually use a silicone liner.
-
Using the palm of your clean hand, smash the ball down until it makes a diameter of about 1.75 inches. You should be able to fit about 25 cookies in a standard 11.5inX17in baking sheet.
-
Place baking sheet in oven on top rack and bake for about 12 minutes.
-
Let cool and enjoy! These don't last long in my house.
