Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (Dairy, Gluten and Grain Free)

Everyone's favourite cookie...chocolate chip.  These is definitely a healthier alternative that doesn't disappoint on taste.  These cookies are chewy and full of flavour.  I like the palm sugar in this recipe as it gives the cookies a bit of a caramel flavour.  Enjoy!

  • 1 1/4 cup sifted ground almonds or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot or tapioca starch
  • 3 tablespoons sifted coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup palm or coconut sugar ground to a powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled
