Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Yield: 12-15 servings

Ingredients

• pure cocoa bar (70% or higher) - 4 oz.
• coconut oil - 1/4 cup
• stevia powder - 1 teaspoon
• egg, hormone free - 1
• pure vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• almond meal or almond flour - 1/2 cup
• unsweetened cocoa - 4 Tablespoons
• baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• chopped walnuts - 1/2 cup
• coconut flakes (optional) - 1/4 cup
• coconut sugar - 1/4 cup

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• These gluten free chocolate cookies are beyond good and super easy to make too! I placed the cocoa bar into a zipper bag and crunched it into small chunks. Then to slightly melt them, I set them in a glass cup and set it in another glass bowl of hot tap water. I let that set while I placed all of the other ingredients into a large glass bowl. I mixed them all together with a wooden spoon.
• Next, I threw the walnuts into that zipper bag and crushed them. Then I added them, and the the semi-melted chips to the mixture and stirred them in.
• I used a tablespoon and dropped them onto a cookie sheet. Makes 1 dozen. Then I cooked them about 15 minutes.
• That's it - they are super easy, delicious and you can forget about the guilt. This recipe contains no gluten, refined sugar, dairy or soy and they are YUMMY!
