Happy Sunday! My husband’s brother and his wife were in town this week from Washington DC and we were all in the mood for a sweet treat. These Grain Free Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies really hit the spot. I don’t bake a ton but do enjoy it once in awhile and have found I am enjoying it more because my little guy loves it so much. Nothing is better than cooking with your child. Everything is exciting to him and I love seeing the happiness in his eyes when he knows he played a part in creating a meal or treat. He was beyond excited when these came out of the oven and could not wait to take his first bite. These are probably the simplest cookies I have ever made and your kids will not only love making them but will love eating them and sharing them too. Enjoy!
- 1 cup hazelnut flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 6 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 4 Tbsp grade B maple syrup
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- Mix hazelnut flour, almond flour, baking soda and sea salt in a bowl.
- In another bowl mix melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients into one bowl.
- Add chocolate chips or chop chocolate to desired size chunks, add to bowl and mix well.
- Scoop cookies onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and cook at 350 degrees for 10-15 min or until slightly browned.
- Allow to cool for a minute or two on the pan and then transfer to a cooling rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
These look like the most dreamy cookies!! What a treat to share baking time in the kitchen with your son!
Happy Fall!
