How To Make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
- 200 g almond meal or almond flour 
- 80 g  mix of dairy and dark chocolate, chopped into chunks 
- 100g shredded coconut
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch sea salt 
- 80g coconut sugar 
- 1 large egg
- 45 ml coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method:
1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond meal, chocolate chunks, shredded coconut, baking powder, salt and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat egg and then whisk in the coconut oil and vanilla, before adding to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to mix until combined. 
3. Use baking paper to roll the cookie dough into a log and chill in the fridge for 30 mins or overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 190C 
5. Slice dough to your desired cookie width and then gently shape with your hands and smooth any wrinkles. Place on a baking sheet with 1-1/2 inch space in between each. Press down slightly to flatten a bit.
6. Bake until edges begin to brown, 7-10 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. If you’re making them for gifts, consider wrapping a small bundle in baking paper, tie with twine and add a sweet little note to finish.
