Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep time: 10 min.; Cook time: 12 min.; Total time: 22 min.
What you’ll need:
- 2½ cups almond flour
- 1 cup oats (gluten free)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar – packed
- 4 tablespoons softened butter – unsalted
- ½ cup natural apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts – optional
Directions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and line several baking sheets with silicone baking sheets or parchment; set aside.
- In a food processor or blender, puree the oats to create oat flour then place in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together oat flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a stand mixer on medium-high speed, cream together butter and sugar until smooth – about 2 minutes. With the mixer on medium, add egg, vanilla and apple sauce. Mix until smooth using a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides as you go.
- Over medium speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until all ingredients are incorporated (being careful not to over mix.)
- Remove bowl from stand mixer and stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Using a small cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop the cookies on to the lined baking sheets being careful not to crowd.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Let cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.
Note: Cookies will be soft and chewy with a subtle nutty flavor.
