Paleo Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

I had a massive craving for double chocolate chip cookies and adapted my original Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe to make it even more chocolaty! 😊 These are dairy-free, gluten-free, and grain-free! I hope you enjoy it as much as my children and I do!

Ingredients

• 2 cups or 200g ground almonds
• 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/8 cups or 90g melted coconut oil
• 1/3 cup or 100g of maple syrup
• 1/3 cup or 90g of dairy-free dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
• a small pinch of salt

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 175C or 350F fan.
2. Put the coconut oil in a bowl to melt.
3. In a large bowl, mix ground almonds + cocoa powder + bicarbonate of soda + salt.
4. Take the coconut oil out of the oven and let it cool down for a little bit.
5. Add the cooled down coconut oil + maple syrup + vanilla extract and finally the dark chocolate chips.
6. Form little balls with your cookie dough and flatten them on a tray lined with greaseproof baking paper. Space them well as they spread.
7. * Bake for 10-15 min, depending on the size of your cookies.
8. The cooking time can vary depending on the oven. To make sure it is cooked through, insert a toothpick, and see if it comes out clean. If not, it needs cooking longer
9. Let them completely cool down before eating them.
10. I love them with a good cup of coffee Enjoy!
11. *if you are allergic to nuts or prefer not to use almond flour (ground almonds) for any other reason, you can replace it with quinoa flour. 200g or 2 cups of almond flour can be replaced with 120g or 2 cups of quinoa flour, and if you don’t like the taste of quinoa flour, you can either toast it or add a little cinnamon (however, the taste tends to be good after baking).
