GOOEY ALMOND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

10-15 cookies, 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup dates (soaked in warm water for at least 30 minutes)

• 1 cup almond flour

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1-2 tbsp coconut oil (melted) (add an extra tbsp if you want them extra gooey)

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom, freshly ground

• 2 finger pinch of salt

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Strain the soaked dates and add them to a food processor. Blend until the dates are soft and broken up but not fully purred.

3. Add the almond flour, vanilla, coconut oil, maple syrup, cardamom and salt to the food processor. Blend until the ingredients are well combined.

4. Add the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the chocolate chips.

5. Dollop 1 tbsp of the mixture at a time on an ungreased cookie sheet (should form 10-15 1 tbsp cookies).

6. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool before transferring them to a serving tray. Enjoy!

Notes

• Everyone loves cookies, so everyone should have them! Good for all doshas! But, if kapha, reduce the amount of coconut oil (1 tbsp should be fine) and increase the amount of cardamom (3/4 tsp or 1 tsp).

• Great as a sweet treat for yourself, the holidays, or parties!
