triple chocolate chip cookies (gf)

By now you have probably guessed that I love all things chocolate! A friend made these cookies and I was immediately hooked. I love eating them as soon as they come out of the oven - they are warm and the chocolate melts in your mouth. Ideally use a minimally processed cocoa powder or raw cacao powder (check out this blog to understand the difference). This recipe comes from the blog Elana’s Pantry.

Ingredients

2½ cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal)

¼ cup unsweetened cacao powder

½ teaspoon celtic sea salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ cup palm shortening (I used regular butter and they turned out great!)

¼ cup honey

½ cup chocolate chips

½ cup milk chocolate chips

½ cup white chocolate chips

Creating the Magic!

• In a large bowl, combine almond flour and cacao powder.

• Stir in salt and baking soda.

• In a medium bowl cream together shortening and honey.

• Stir wet ingredients into dry.

• Scoop dough 1 tablespoon at a time onto 2 parchment paper lined baking sheets.
