- 2/3 cup maple sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups blanched almond flour

- 3.5 oz bar of 80% or 90% dark chocolate, chopped into chunks (or substitute 2/3 cup chocolate chunks)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F.
Vigorously stir palm shortening, walnut oil and maple sugar in a bowl until well combined (or beat in a standing mixer). Add egg and again, stir enthusiastically to fully combine. Add vanilla.
Add dry ingredients (almond flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon). Stir to incorporate. Fold in chopped walnuts and chopped chocolate.
You can either drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the cookie sheet or you can form 1 1/2″ balls of dough (for a more uniform shaped cookie).
Bake 10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet. Enjoy!
