Almond Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

These crazy good Almond Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are gluten-free.  Wonderfully chewy and tender with just a hint of sweetness.

Why are these cookies so good?

  1. According to Dr. Oz, almonds are a super snack.  He places a handful of raw almonds in water for 3-4 hours, to soften them, then snacks on it all day long.
  2. Coconut is classified as a “superfood”.   Kimberley Snyder, a nutritionist, and New York best-selling author lists coconut as a beauty food that promotes youthfulness.
  3. Chocolate chips give it that boost of chocolatey goodness.

The combination of all these ingredients is a home run.  I can easily eat these cookies guilt free.

Almond flour replaces the flour in this recipe and is available for purchase at most stores.  If you prefer to make your own, pulse sliced blanched almonds in a food processor.  Do not over pulse or you’ll end up with almond butter.  I pulsed mine until it resembled coarse granules, not too fine.

Simply combine the dry ingredients together in a bowl then combine the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.  Pour the wet into the dry and mix until combined.  Form cookie dough into 1 inch balls and flatten slightly.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
