❇️Ingredients

• 2 cups blanched almond flour (or almond meal)

• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted

• 1/4 cup maple syrup ( or honey) 

• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 250ºF and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

2.In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, oil, maple syrup, salt, baking soda, vanilla, and vinegar and stir well to create a uniform, sticky dough. Fold in the chocolate chips. / hazelnut ( or both)

 3. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the baking sheet, then use your hands to gently flatten and shape them. (They won't spread a lot with baking.) Get your fingers wet with water to help prevent sticking while you work with the dough. 
4. Bake until the cookies are firm to the touch around the edges, about 30 minutes at 250ºF. you can bake them up to 45 minutes at 250ºF. Because of the low temperature, these cookies will not turn golden brown around the edges
 5. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before attempting to remove them. They will firm up more as they cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, but they will have the best shelf life and texture when stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. 

Enjoy 😊
