Gluten Free Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was inspired by Gluten Free on a Shoestring (which is a great blog if you haven't already been there!).  I tweaked the recipe for paelo chocolate chip cookies to reduce the sugar from 3/4 to 1/4 cup. These were so good! They freeze well. I have now made at least two batches.

The cookies don't spread when they bake, so I like making them into balls and slightly flattening them.  I thought that looked better than what my cookies looked like sliced from a log.

In the end here's the measurements that I used. Otherwise follow her recipe instructions (mix, shape, chill, slice and bake 12 min at 325 F). 

1.75 C blanched almond flour
3 TB coconut flour
0.5 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C melted coconut oil
2 eggs (beaten)
vanilla extract
chocolate chips

Based on baking 22 small cookies, I think these are approx 125 calories per cookie.
