Chocolate Cookies, no flour

Chocolate Lace Cookies

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• scant 1/4 tsp salt
• level 1/2 tsp baking soda
• packed 1/4 cup pitted dates (45g)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (170g) (or break up a very dark chocolate bar)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp unrefined coconut oil

Blend first five ingredients until almonds and dates are finely pulverized. In a separate bowl, combine vanilla, oil, and 3/4 c of the chocolate chips. Melt (I microwaved 1 minute, then stirred). Pour the dry ingredients, as well as the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, into the wet. Stir until evenly mixed, making sure to break up any big clumps. It’ll seem dry at first, but keep stirring until it all looks dark and shiny.

Bake at 355 F for 7-8 minutes. (Take out when still a bit undercooked, as these continue to cook as they cool.)
