Almond Meal Chocolate Chip Cookies

My sweet bestie, JoAnn, hosted me at her house earlier this week. While I was there, she made me cookies! It was a recipe she has used and wanted to share with me. They were so delicious, I HAD to share them with you!

In a large bowl, whisk together
3 3/4 Cups Almond Flour
1 1/3 Cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 Cup coconut sugar

Optional! If you want to add one of these for FALL FLAIR, whisk it into the dry ingredients.
1 tsp apple pie spice
           OR
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
           OR
1 tsp cinnamon

In a separate bowl, whisk together
3 Eggs
9 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Gently stir in 3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips or Cacao Nibs (Those mini chocolate chips by Enjoy Life are perfection!)

Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes or overnight. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes (when edges start to brown) and ENJOY!  P.S. They're Gluten Free!

Milk Cookies

I know this isn't a healthy recipe, per se, but they are a great gift for new mamas. They help with milk supply and taste so yummy. I love to make a batch and freeze them in ready to go dough balls. If the new mama lives nearby, I usually cook them up before delivering them. But, if she is further away and I need to deliver before baby's arrival, I'll take them frozen with instructions to cook.
If you've got a non-chocolate friend, disown them! Just kidding, just sub out the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips and cranberries. So good! Recipe credit goes to my childhood pal, Jennifer Lee Smith!
