Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Growing up these were probably your fave thing to bake or that your mother baked. They are just so yummy. I was a sweets eater like no other growing up. My sweet tooth was out of control and I loved every bite.

I still have a sweet tooth. I also have food intolerances and I am so hyper focused on the types of food I put in my body. I am not about depriving myself of chocolate (hello I drink a chocolate shake daily) but I try and make sure, even if it is a treat, its a healthier treat!

Here is what you need:

• 1/4 c extra virgin coconut oil (solid) I used ghee
• 1/2 c coconut sugar I used Lakanta Monk Fruit Sugar Substitute (I use this in all my baking)
• 1 large egg yolk (can also use 1 whole egg)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 c gluten free all-purpose flour (I used fine ground almond flour)
• 1/4 tsp  gf baking soda
• 1/4 tsp gf baking powder
• 1/2 tsp  sea salt
• 1/4-1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

****I highly recommend the enjoy life brand chocolate chips. No fillers, no crap, no gluten, dairy, soy, nothing artificial. Remember put good in get good out****

Here is how to make them:

1. Preheat oven to 325
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
3. Combine oil and sugar in a large bowl and mix well
4. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Set aside
5. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in medium bowl, mix well
6. Add the oil mixture to flour mixture and mix it up well.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips
8. Roll  into Tbs sized balls (can use a TBS measuring scoop)
9. Flaten the balls a bit on the pan
10. Bake 10-12 minutes
