Serves: 1 dozen
Ingredients
  • DRY
  • 2 cups almond flour (the finer the better)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (look for dairy-free - Enjoy Life is a great brand)
  • ¼ cup chopped dried cherries
  • WET
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (add more if you prefer a sweeter cookie)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix add all dry ingredients and whisk
  3. Add in wet ingredients and mix well
  4. Form balls on your greased/parchment lined baking sheet and press into cookie shape (Mine were probably a little under two inches in diameter)
  5. Pop into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cookie
  6. Let cool and enjoy!
Notes
These cookies are not going to rise and expand like your normal Tollhouse. The size that you put in the oven will likely not change much once fully cooked!

You can easily cut the size of each cookie in half and make cookie bites, which I often do. This will yield 2-dozen, and bake at around 8-9 minutes.
