Late Night Cravings

Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I think I have officially influenced my husband into having a sweet tooth. It is not uncommon for me to have a little late night craving for sweets, but it's just been recently that Ryan has been jumping on that bandwagon and being the one requesting late night cookies! Maybe it's because I've started making a lot of great paleo baked goods that make us feel like it's not such a bad craving to have. They're paleo, so they're good for us, right?!? So I tend to just dig around the kitchen and see what I can come up with based on what I have and looking at a few different recipes and combining those all into a little sweet treat! These turned out great, and totally hit the spot!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup ground cashews (cashews blended in food processor)
• 1 cup unsweetened coconuts shredded 
• 4 tbs softened grass fed butter (kerrygold)
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Process:

1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Combine dry ingredients (almond flour, ground cashews, unsweetened coconut)
3. In separate bowl combine wet ingredients (softened butter, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla)
4. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing on high.
5. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and drop cookie dough on sheet. I made about 25 cookies.
7. Bake for 17 min.
8. Enjoy!
