Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently went gluten-free. Do I miss the bread, the pasta, the cookies, the cake? Yeah absolutely. But recipes like this have made it easier on me. This recipe for the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies was soooooo simple. I had all of the ingredients in my kitchen already and it took all of five minutes to whip up. Surprisingly these cookies taste really good! They're really chewy and even after leaving them out for a few days, they remain to be soft and chewy! They're the best tasting gluten-free cookies I've ever had, so I'm very excited about this recipe that I found from Fit Sugar. Here it is:

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup
• 4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 cups blanched almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a medium bowl, mix the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Beat to combine.
• In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir well.
• Add the liquid and the chocolate chips. Stir until combined
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Scoop rounded tablespoons of batter about two inches apart. They will get bigger.
• Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until tops are lightly browned
• Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating

Eat with some ice cream, milk, melted chocolate, or just as they are :)
