here’s the problem with the phrase “gluten free”.  I always associate it with “healthy.”  I know that’s not the case, but it really helps justify things like cookies!

We were in need of some sweets the other night, but I didn’t want to use butter or flour if at all possible.  I found a recipe on minimalist baker taken from the Sprouted Kitchen Cookbook.

I had to adapt it a bit because I didn’t have enough almond meal.  But I think it turned out pretty darn tasty!  SO much so, that I made more last night.  Oops!

Ingredients

3/4 c almond flour (I just pulverize almonds in my magic bullet)
3/4 c oatmeal/oatmeal flour (I just put half the oatmeal in the magic bullet to make it a bit finer) – if you are truly GF, make sure you get GF oats or just use all almond flour
1/3 c brown sugar
1/4 c chocolate chips (ok fine, I used closer to 1/2 a cup)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbs melted coconut oi

1.  Combine the dry ingredients into a bowl
2.  Combine the egg, vanilla and melted coconut oil until creamy
3.  Add the dry ingredients to the we ingredients
4.  The recipe says to put it in the fridge for at least 30 min.  I just spread the dough on the inside of the bowl and stick it in the freezer for about 5-10 min.  Works fine.
5.  Make little cookie balls and put them on a parchment lined baking sheet – I fit the entire batch on my jelly roll pan.  Around 17-18.  Push them down a little.
6.  Bake at 400 for 7-10 min, until the edges are golden.
7. Let them sit on the tray for 5ish min and then remove to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!
