Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies with Almond Flour

Yummy, Yummy!


2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick butter, melted
1/4 cup cane sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips (or mnm's)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, and eggs. Stir the wet ingredients into the almond flour mixture until thoroughly combined, then fold in the chocolate. Drop the batter, in scant 1/4 cups 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.  (I used my big cookie scoop.)

Bake for 12 minutes, until golden brown or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool on the baking sheets.

Eat 'em while they're hot!
