These are fantastic!

Ingredients

    Almond Flour - 1 cup (I ground myself)
    White Rice Flour - 1/2 cup
    Ground Flax Seed - 1/4 cup
    Salt - 1/4 tsp.
    Coconut Oil - 1/4 cup
    Granulated Sugar - 1/2 cup
    Vanilla Extract 1/2 tsp.
    1 large egg
    Hershey's Milk Chocolate Baking Chips - 1/4 cup
    Reese's Peanut Butter Baking Chips - 1/4 cup

Tips

You could easily substitute 1/3 cup of honey for the sugar or even cut that back more if you please. They are pretty sweet!


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Stir together almond flour, rice flour, ground flax seed, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Since coconut oil solidifies around 70F, warm coconut oil up to be almost melted if needed. Add to bowl with dry ingredients as well as the egg and vanilla. Mix well. Add chocolate and peanut butter chips and stir in.

Dough may be quite loose if the temperature is high, so stick in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Warm cookie dough spreads. Drop on to non-stick cookie sheet by rounded tablespoon two inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until middles look almost set. We like cookies to be very soft, so I set my timer for 7 minutes and watch it for one more minute until it gets to the consistency I like. Once removed from oven, let the cookies stay on the pan 3-5 minutes to retain shape. Move to cooling rack. Store in an air-tight container maybe up to 5 days? They never last longer than 24 hours!
