Chocolate Chip and Coconut Almond Meal Cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1¼ c. Almond Meal
  • ½ t. Baking Powder
  • ¼ t. Salt
  • ½ c. Shredded, Unsweetened Coconut
  • ⅓ c. Sucanat or Coconut Sugar (I used Sucanat and processed mine in my Vitamix dry attachment until it was finely ground)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3 T. Coconut Oil, melted
  • 2 t. Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ c. Bittersweet/Dark Chocolate Chips (I would chop them next time for finer pieces..the big chips made it a bit difficult for the cookies to hold together)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and coconut. In a small bowl whisk together egg, coconut oil and vanilla. Stir wet ingredients into dry until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Shape dough into 1½-inch balls, place on baking sheets and press down slightly with the palm of your hand.
  3. Bake until edges begin to brown, 7-10 minutes (mine took 8), rotating pans and switching racks halfway through. Let cool completely on wire racks and store in an air-tight container.
Notes
Makes about 18 cookies.
