Heavenly Chocolate Chip Cookies without Flour or Grains

These cookies are gluten-free and in fact have no flour or grain in them at all, so they are even kosher for Passover. You will be surprised at how tasty and satisfying they are.

Ingredients


1½ c. raw walnuts
1½ c. raw almonds
2 eggs
½ c. honey
¼ c. maple syrup
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. dried orange peel
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 c. dark chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Put the walnuts, almonds, cinnamon, and salt into a food processor and process these ingredients until they are a uniform finely ground meal. In a separate bowl beat two eggs and then add the maple syrup, honey, and vanilla.

Add the nut meal to the egg mixture and blend thoroughly. Then add the orange peel and the dark chocolate chips so that they too are evenly blended.

Drop the batter onto a greased cookie sheet by the tablespoon and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden brown.

Eat well, be well, live deliciously!
