Choc Chip Cookies

• 1/4 cup almond butter (can substitute for peanut butter)
• 1/4 cup rice malt syrup (can use maple syrup or honey)
• 1/4 cup aquafaba (chickpea brine)
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup tapioca starch (can substitute for white rice flour or plain flour)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the oven to 160 degrees and line a cookie tray with baking paper.

2. In a bowl, combine almond butter, syrup and aquafaba and stir to combine.

3. Add flours, baking powder, soda, coconut sugar and salt and mix to form your cookie dough. 

4. Add chocolate chips and stir again. 

5. Use a spoon to transfer a tablespoon of the mixture on to the tray (it will be gooey and wet) and shape into a circle. Repeat until all mixture is used up. Leave 2 inches between each cookie, as they spread when cooking. 

6. Transfer to your hot oven and cook for 12 minutes until lovely and brown and crisp on top.
