The best vegan cookie you will ever eat!

   
 So the first recipe I want to share with you is a vegan chocolate chip cookie that is infused with a hint of orange. One point that I want to bring home is to make sure you are using good ingredients, that will make the difference between an okay cookie and an out of this world cookie.










   Okay so I developed this recipe after a great recipe I found for a grain free, egg, and dairy free cookie. I tweaked the recipe a little to make it my own. Here is what you will need-


2 cups almond flour 
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coconut oil, or oil of choice
1/4 cup honey or vegan substitute 
1 tablespoon of good vanilla 
1 tablespoon coconut milk or almond milk
1/4 cup chocolate chips 
1 tablespoon of orange zest
2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed valencia orange juice
1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for added nutrients





Preheat the oven the 350 F

Step one-

Combine the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.

Step two-

In a separate bowl combine everything but the the chocolate chips and orange zest.
 

    


Step three-

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until well combined, add the chocolate chips and orange zest. 



Step four-

 Roll dough into golf sized balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Cook for 7-9 minutes, cool and enjoy.


                                                                 Bon appetit!
