Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• ½ cup coconut flour

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)

• Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Cookie Dough:
   

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

   • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well blended.

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

   • Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if desired, until evenly distributed.

1. Shaping the Cookies:
   

   • Take about 1-2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands.

   • Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten it with your palm or the back of a spoon. Repeat this step with the remaining dough, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.

1. Baking the Cookies:
   

   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.

   • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. Enjoying the Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies:
   

   • Once the cookies have cooled, it's time to enjoy your guilt-free treat.

   • Serve them with a glass of almond milk or a cup of herbal tea for a delightful pairing.

   • These cookies can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days, but chances are they won't last that long!
