  • 1/2 cup almond flour

Preparation

Step 1

My Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies make the perfect afternoon snack with less guilt than your typical cookie!

which is, yup you guessed it, ground up oats.  The oat flour makes the cookies so light.  I am kinda obsessed with it.  Both flours are available at your health food grocery store or you can find them on Amazon as well ?

One more tip for you.  I baked these cookies right after mixing the ingredients and I baked them after they were refrigerated for 24 hours.  The ones in theses photos are the ones that were refrigerated for 24 hours.  I highly recommend chilling the dough first.  The dough that wasn’t chilled was still delicious, but less visually appealing.  More flat and not as pretty.  So, there you have it.  Be patient and chill your dough before baking them.

Directions

Place coconut oil and butter in large mixing bowl, beating to combine. Add sugars, mixing well then ad egg and vanilla. Stir well then add almond meal, oat flour, all purpose flour, salt, baking soda and chocolate chips. Stir until just combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 3-4 hours

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a split liner. Use a small cookie scoop and place dough 1 inch apart onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring. Enjoy room temperature.
