Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 27 cookies
Ingredients
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil, cooled to touch
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup brown rice flour
  • ¾ cup gluten free oat flour
  • ⅔ cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup tapioca starch
  • ½ cup Butterfinger Baking Bits*
  • ½ cup chocolate chips*
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, stir together ground flaxseed and water and set aside for at least 2 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, cream together melted coconut oil, almond butter and sugar until smooth. Add flaxseed mixture and vanilla and mix until smooth.
  2. In a separate smaller mixing bowl, sift together salt, baking soda, brown rice flour, oat flour, almond flour and tapioca starch. Add dry mixture to wet mixture and mix until incorporated.
  3. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir in Butterfinger bits and chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough for at least 1 hour.**
  4. When ready to bake cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll walnut sized balls of dough and place 2" apart on cookie sheet. Bake one pan at a time for 12-14 minutes or until edges are browning. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely until set on baking sheet before transferring to cooling racks. Continue baking until dough is gone.
  5. Store extra cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
*You can substitute 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips for a dairy free option. I hear that Enjoy Life is a great brand.
**You can bake right away, but they will be slightly flatter than letting them chill first.
