Makes about 10-12 cookies

Ingredients:

1. 2 ½ cup almond flour

2. ½ tsp salt

3. ½ tsp baking powder

4. ½ cup organic maple syrup

5. 2 t vanilla

6. 1 large egg, beaten

7. ½ c organic virgin coconut oil, in solid state

8. 3/4 cup to 1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% organic chips by Equal Exchange that can be ordered at: http://shop.equalexchange.coop/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/1140/s/organic-chocolate-chips-bittersweet/?gclid=CKbhx_a099ACFQeUfgodyFEDRg)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350º.

• In a large mixing bowl add the first three ingredients and mix well.

• In a second smaller mixing bowl, combine the next four ingredients. Mix well to incorporate coconut oil mashing with a fork if needed to evenly distribute.

• Pour the wet mixture into the large mixing bowl to combine wet and dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips and stir well to incorporate.

• Use a tablespoon, scoop rounded dough portions and form with fingers into somewhat rounded shapes.

• Place everything onto baking sheet (scones won’t spread) and bake for 20 minutes until just turning golden brown on edges and tender on the inside. Cool. Enjoy!
