For awhile now, I’ve been trying to come up with a healthy, holiday cookie recipe that isn’t like all the others out there. These are so delicious and unique, so if you bring them to a holiday party, there won’t be ten other ladies bringing a similar one lol. Plus, there’s just something about those cranberries (fresh or dried) that looks so Christmassy!
1+1/2 cups almond meal
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cranberries or 2 tbsp dried cranberries
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 large egg
2 tbsp coconut oil, room temp
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Stir the almond meal, chocolate chips, coconut, brown sugar, cranberries, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl
Whisk the egg well and add in the coconut oil and vanilla extract
Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour
Line a large, rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using 2 large tbsp of batter, form dough into 1-inch balls. Press down slightly to flatten. Space the dough about 1 1/2 inches apart
Bake for 7 minutes or until edges are golden brown
Place cookie sheet on a cooling rack and let cool completely before transferring to a plate.
