Almond Meal Cookies

Everyone likes chocolate chip cookies. Not everyone wants to use regular white flour and some need to be gluten free.

This recipe uses Hodgson Mill Almond flour/meal, Truvia brown sugar blend, and Hershey’s sugar free chocolate chips.   

Everyone loved these cookies! They were gone in mere minutes.

This is not a low calorie food, nor especially low carb, but is pretty low sugar at 2.6 grams per cookie. 

Ingredients 

   2 cups almond flour
  1/4 cup brown sugar 
   2 tbsp softened butter
   2 tsp vanilla extract
  1/2 tsp baking powder
  1/4 tsp salt
   1 large egg
  1/2 cups chocolate chips 

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 350°
2. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Parchment paper is highly recommended because these cookies can be fragile and need an easy release.
3. Mix all ingredients together except the chocolate chips.
4. Add the chocolate chips. 
5. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of dough onto prepared cookie sheet.  
6. Flatten and shape cookies to about 2″ diameter.   
7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown. Allow cookies to cool before removing.
