Primal Gluten Free, Cane Sugar Free, Egg Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are DELICIOUS, once they cool. They are inspired by a recipe I found on a blog called Elana's Pantry.

Here is my recipe:
 
Primal, Gluten Free, Cane Sugar Free, Egg Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
makes about 42 1 teaspoon cookies
 
2 cups almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup melted organic butter
2 tablespoons honey, raw or runny (I use raw organic honey)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I'm fond of Trader Joe's Bourbon Vanilla)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli Double Chocolate chips)

Preheat 350 degree oven.

You can make this recipe in your food processor or in a bowl...either way works just fine.

Throw all ingredients in a bowl (or your food processor - except chips if using processor) and mix until dough forms. (If you use a food processor, once the dough forms, hand mix your chocolate chips in).

Scoop dough either 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon at a time onto a non-stick cookie sheet. I favor the 1 teaspoon method as you get more and smaller cookies.

Bake 6-8 minutes. These cookies shouldn't darken much from baking. If they do, you've probably cooked them for too long. In fact, the ones in the photo above were baked too long! ;)

IMPORTANT: these cookies really do need to cool on the cookie sheet for about 15 minutes before you move them. Also, I've found that they taste best after they've cooled.

Enjoy!
