Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour see note
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 6 tablespoons applesauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- extra sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
- Put all ingredients, except the chocolate chips, in a bowl and mix well.
- Add chocolate chips and mix until incorporated.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cookies should be starting to crisp at the edges, but softer in the middle. They will cook more as they cool.
- Allow them to cool completely for the ultimate chewiness. Devour!
Notes
- Make sure that you are using a super fine blanched almond flour. The larger grain ones will affect the texture of the end result, but the flavor will still be delicious.
- I experimented with subbing the almond butter with more applesauce and although they didn't spread as nicely and weren't as chewy they still tasted delicious. So if you want to cut the fat a bit, try this option.
