Introducing my Quinoa Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Benefits of These Cookies

These incredible cookies are so easy to make, and so delicious, but they are also:

• Vegan (no eggs, no dairy)
• Gluten-free
• Oil-free
• Refined sugar-free

How to Make the Best Quinoa Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

In a large bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients (almond butter, hot water, coconut sugar, flaxseed meal and vanilla) until blended and smooth.

IN a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients (quinoa flour, baking oda and salt). Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stor until combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.

Using a small cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough in rounded mounds onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Bake the cookies in a preheated 350F (175 C) oven for 9 to 12 minutes until the centers appear set and the edges are golden brown. Leave the cookies on the sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool.

The cookies are crispy-chewy and heavenly to eat! Just what chocolate chip cookies should be.

Happy baking!
