Cookies, Sunbutter & Chocolate Chunk

By seamline

Truly .. I think these are the best cookies I have had in awhile! They are gluten free but as good as any gluten cookie. I substituted Lily Chocolate Chips sweetened with stevia instead of a chopped dark chocolate bar and made 12 small ones instead of 6 very large ones and only cooked them for 8 minutes!!

• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together all of your ingredients except the chocolate chunks until they come together and mixed thoroughly.

3. Once the batter comes together, fold in your chocolate chunks.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and scoop your batter onto the baking sheet to form six cookies.

5. If you like a little sea salt on the top of your cookies, sprinkle a little onto each cookie before putting it in the oven.

6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

7. Allow to cool, then enjoy cookie-monster style!
