Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 Tbs coconut oil
3 Tbs maple syrup (the real stuff!!)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups blanched almond meal
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

1)  Preheat oven to 375F.
2)  In a large bowl, combine coconut oil and maple syrup with an electric mixer on medium speed.
3)  Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix on low speed, just until combined.
4)  Add the almond flour, baking soda and salt, mixing on low speed until combined.
5)  Stir in chocolate chips.
6)  Using a small sized cookie scoop, drop dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes.

Review:  This day's post may seem like a bake-a-thon. It kind of was. My employer is having a bake sale tomorrow. I never get to bake, because baking makes way more goods than the two of us can eat. So, I got the joy of baking to my heart's content, sampling the recipes and then getting rid of the excess. It was a great day!!! This was the least favorite of the cookies I made today. I had way too much almond meal. It was the epitome of a health food cookie, as it had a strong almond flavor and texture. It was gritty instead of cookie like. It also didn't flatten out, so they were lumps that took FOREVER to bake. Ugh. Maybe they'd be better if I flattened them before baking?
