- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tbsp flax
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup palm shortening
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (we like Enjoy Life brand)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix flax and water until combined. Set aside to thicken.
In a large bowl, add palm shortening and almond butter. With an electric mixer, beat palm shortening and almond butter until well combined.
Add honey, vanilla, and flax egg to the mixture. Beat until combined.
Add baking powder, salt, and almond flour to the mixture. Beat until well combined and a dough forms.
Add chocolate chips to the mixture. Beat until chocolate chips are evenly mixed throughout dough.
Scoop ~2tbsp of dough and form into balls. Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-11 minutes. These cookies burn very quickly, so keep a close eye on them. I usually bake for 10 minutes, but baking time will depend on your specific oven.
Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
The following substitutions will probably work, but I have not tested them:
*If vegan, try subbing brown rice syrup for honey
**If you don't like flax eggs, try subbing 1 medium-large egg (but do not under bake at all)
***These chocolate chip cookies are absolutely delicious with peanut butter instead of almond butter, but be aware that peanuts are not paleo.
****We recommend Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips
