Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies (gluten and dairy free)

Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies (gluten free, dairy free)

Yield: 12 cookies
You will need: measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowl, wooden spoon, baking sheet

1 1/4 cups almond meal flour (other nut flours work too)
2-3 T cacao powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil, avocado oil or olive oil (add about half of this to start to check the texture – see below)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup dark chocolate pieces

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix almond meal, cacao powder, salt and baking soda.
3. Stir in vanilla and honey and mix well. Add oil a little at a time. Depending on a variety of factors (including climate, brands of ingredients etc) this batter can do different things. You want a somewhat stiff batter to lay on your cookie sheet, so if it’s super runny before adding the oil try going without. If it seems ok, try adding a tablespoon or two at a time (a 1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons). For some of you, it will be just fine to add the entire amount. Don’t be afraid to mess around a little or add a little more almond meal flour.
4. Add chocolate pieces. Bake for 7-9 minutes.

Hope you enjoy this simple and easy chocolate chunk cookie recipe!

Need some help with healthy eating? When planning for the week, I think about:

• 2-3 breakfast options I like 
• A few entrees that could double as dinner or lunch 
• A couple smoothie ideas that have complimentary ingredients to give you variety with your greens
• A snack option like homemade protein muffins or an easy to make trail mix for days you’re just hungrier and want a little more to eat.
• Round out your plan with a couple of staple sides that you would like to have on hand daily like a big mixed greens salad and some rice, quinoa or easy to grab sweet potato chunks…
