Chocolate Chip Cookies with Olive Oil and Almond Flour

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3/4 cup golden monk fruit sweetener
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups blanched almond flour
• 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips of choice 2/3 cup toasted pecans
• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened, finely shredded coconut

Recipe Notes

Almond meal can be used in place of blanched almond flour. Dough can be refrigerated prior to baking for 30 minutes to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. Brown sugar or coconut sugar can be used in place of monk fruit sweetener.

Form the dough into tablespoon rounds and place on the lined baking sheet about 3 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown around edges.
