Grain and Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookie
This grain free chocolate chip cookie recipe is the real deal. However, no one will know they are also refined sugar and dairy free! If you’re not avoiding dairy, sub ghee or grass-fed butter for the coconut. They will be super yum! For soft and gooey, be sure to keep a close eye as they bake, as oven temps vary. Pull them out when just set and slightly brown. This results in a moist center oozing with chocolatey goodness.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare cookie sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Set aside
  2. In mixing bowl add almond butter, coconut oil (or ghee/coconut oil), sugar and honey. Mix until quite smooth.
  3. Add the egg and then remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Once well combined, stir in the chocolate chips. Mixture should be thinner than most cookie dough.
  4. Place batter in the freezer for about 10 minutes. When slightly firm, use a 1 inch scoop or spoon to drop onto lined baking sheet, slightly flattening the top. Space about and inch apart.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, checking after 6-7 minutes as ovens vary. Place on rack to cool.
Recipe Notes

I prefer to mix this dough by hand in a bowl with wooden spoon.  It comes together in a sinch and isn’t as stodgy as most cookie doughs.  A couple of other notes.  A smoother and thinner almond butter works best (not super runny, but pourable).  I often make my own (just organic raw almonds and little sea salt in a high speed blender), but I also like this brand. Just be sure to stir is well until very smooth and the oil is incorporated.

I also use a good quality vanilla powder and arrowroot.  Arrowroot is a less processed starch, as I prefer to avoid cornstarch and allergy inducing gums. The  vanilla powder can be pricey, but will last quite a while and the flavor is amazing. Finally, be sure to use good quality chocolate chips, without dairy, soy, etc.  I like these.  Happy baking!!
