Wheat Free Cookie Recipe

I've made several different cookie recipes in the past, this being the first without wheat in it. My family is slowly giving up a number of foods and adopting the Paleo Diet. This means wheat and dairy are out of the picture. If you're going to eat any refined foods, be it pasta, bread, or any other baked good I suggest using gluten free products. If you're reading this blog post you probably already know about gluten intolerance or celiac disease, if not I highly recommend you do some research.

This recipe will make about ll or 12 cookies.

1 1/4  cup - almond meal/flour

1/4 cup - coconut flour

1 tbsp - baking soda

1 tsp - salt

1 tbsp - extra virgin olive oil

1 - full egg

2 - egg whites

1 scoop - almond butter

handful - walnut halves

handful - raisins

handful - dark chocolate chips (if you want to go healthier take a half bar of Green & Blacks organic 85% cocoa dark chocolate and cut it up into small chunks)

I combined the dry ingredients in a bowl and then simply added the remaining ingredients and mixed thoroughly. Place in clumps on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for around 15 minutes.

This is so far one of my favorite cookie recipes. The recipe can also be modified rather easily by changing out different nuts or substituting chopped dates for the raisins. Use organic products whenever possible.
