These healthy chocolate cookies are not only gluten-free but also packed with the goodness of raw cacao for a rich, chocolaty flavor and a boost of antioxidants. Made with almond and coconut flour, maple syrup, and coconut oil, they’re a delicious and nourishing treat that I just know you’ll love. See my notes to make them look extra special for certain events!

Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup cacao powder
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
5 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients – almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, sea salt, and cacao powder. Add the wet – melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, make about 9-10 equal cookies on tray. Bake for 15-17 minutes then let cool on the pan for 5-minutes before removing to further cool on a cooling rack (this is a huge challenge!).

*If you’re making these cookies for a special occasion, feel free to use sprinkles to make them stand out. If you’re making around Christmastime, I highly suggest smashing a candy cane and sprinkling that over them right as they come out of the oven (sprinkle then gently pat them into each cookie).
