IT IS FRIDAY!! whoop whoop
can you tell we are excited??? well we made some progress with our bakery and getting the uhaul today. so we will be moving all weekend. we will try to check in. plus our dad is coming…he has no idea what he is getting himself into, haha
thanks for the sweet comments on our arms and abs. and sooooo happy we have inspired so many of you to do more planks! seriously one of the easiest things you can do for your whole body. not only are they great for the body, but good for the mind too! it is very challenging to try to stay put. and for those of you that asked how we do plank, check out our video here holding plank for 2 minutes the first time. now that we go longer, sometimes we move all around (up, down, side to side). we will do another video here shortly.
okay, okay now for the easy recipe we have for you today.
we have been meaning to make almond cookies for some time. it has been awhile since we have made almond chip dough ball cookies.
these almond meal chocolate chip cookies are soft, not to sweet, with a nice texture from the almond meal…. oh just so perfect.
as much as we love raw cookies, nothing beats a warm cookie right out of the oven, do you agree?
we used whole almonds to make these cookies. you can soak them before had, but you will want to dry them out. we just place 1 cup of whole almonds into a food processor and pulse till crumbly. and then scoop out our desired amount of almond flour.
we kind of liked that these cookies were more dry than moist. a nice change. and we loved the texture that using freshly ground almonds provided these cookies.
pure2raw recipe: almond meal chocolate chip cookies (free of grains, gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, and low in sugar)
prep time – 5 minutes
bake time – 10 -12 minutes at 350 degrees
ingredients:
- 2/3 cup almond flour*
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 whole egg**
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
*as we mentioned above, we took whole almonds and place in food processor. pulse till small pieces like flour. it will be a little chunky, which we liked!
**we have not tested these without an egg yet. but could do 1 1/2 tbsp flax with 3 tbsp water to make flax gel
directions:
once you have your almond flour made, place all ingredients into a bowl and stir together. batter will be slightly thick and dry. if too dry, add in about 2-4 tbsp coconut milk or almond milk.
scoop cookie dough batter onto cookie trays. using your fingers gently pat cookies flat or till desired thickness.
bake cookies at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.
let cool as they are delicate.
enjoy!
we stored our cookies in fridge. they will last for about a week to 2 weeks (if they last that long)

No worries Shirley, we know you are busy too
LOVE the looks of these cookies. I am having so much fun baking with almond meal/flour lately. I’m sure these are amazing.
I really need to get myself some almond and coconut flour. I’ve heard so many great things about both! These look amazing

Oh almond flour is so great for adding moisture to recipes that things just taste divine when made with it! I can’t wait to try these out
Good luck with the move! Sweet your dad is coming. I know so many people who are moving right now–what’s in the air?
Delicious sounding recipe–and I love how gracious and accommodating you are of your vegan readers.

Those look amazing!!!! Like a chocolate chip cookie, only WAY better!!! haha
Liz @ iheartvegetables recently posted..What’s in the bag…
I will probably add some coconut flakes to it, hopefully the texture will remain as perfect as it is on the picture!
These look amazing! I love almond and coconut flour, so I know I’d love these
Have a great friday!

Thanks for this amazing recipe!! I made these tonight for a party and everyone loved them. I only wish I’d saved a couple at home for myself
Also wanted to let you know I subbed a flax egg and it worked perfect! I thought they might be a bit crumbly but they held together great.
Leslie that is great news! we are so happy to hear this!!! yay
Yum! These look amazing!

You have me craving cookies now! They look delicious!
girls, I’ve made these THREE times in the last 2 weeks… that tells you how much my husband likes them
I did them with the flax egg, and worked perfectly. The first time I made them, my coconut oil was pretty hard and did NOT want to mix into the batter… so I added a touch of almond milk, and my husband devoured them. He loved the soft texture, because healthy cookies always wind up being pretty chewy… The 2nd time I made them, I melted the coconut oil before adding the rest of the ingredients, and I thought they were perfect but my husband preferred the soft ones. Oh, and the 2nd & 3rd time I made them, I subbed protein powder for part of the coconut flour – I did 1/3 cup each of brown rice protein, coconut flour and almond meal. It was fantastic! My husband thanks you for this recipe

Awesome Heather!!! So happy to hear this!
can you substitute coconut nectar for the coconut sugar?
you can but it will change the final outcome of the cookie as coconut nectar is a liquid sweetener. you might have to adjust your other liquids so the batter not too runny.
Thank you for this recipe, it rocks! I had a major snack attack last night, and these hit the spot! I used the ground flax seed with water instead of an egg, and I was out of coconut anything, so I used a splash of almond milk and a little less than 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Absolutely delicious!!! Thanks again!
Love the almond cookies. I made pancakes with:
1/2C almond meal and 1/2C gluten free S/R flour, 2 eggs and 1C milk (soy, almond)
The kids loved them…great way to sneek in some extra protien
