21 Day Fix Approved Chocolate Chip Cookies

While I love to indulge during the holidays, I also love a good healthy swap. These chocolate chip cookies will make you feel like you are eating the real thing and allow you to indulge guilt free in other favorite desserts. These are from the 21 Day Fix Cookbook, Fixate, and I am in love.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon gluten free baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup organic coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup raw maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 2 large egg whites (1/4 cup)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. 
2. Combine almond flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl, mix well, set aside.
3. Beat oil and maple syrup in large mixer bowl until creamy, 4-5 minutes.
4. Add egg, egg whites and extract and beat for 2 more minutes.
5. Add almond flour mixture to egg mixture and mix until blended. Add chocolate chips. 
6. Drop rounded teaspoons onto parchment paper and bake 14-16 minutes. Enjoy!
