These cookies are not only satisfying and delicious, they are great for those who are gluten, dairy and egg free. They are made with almond flour instead of grains and have a lovely texture and crunch. They have the chewiness of a really great chocolate chip cookie with the tasty crunch from cocoa nibs and pecans. The almond flour makes these cookies satisfying and more nutritious than the average chocolate chip cookie. Also, they are made with honey instead of refined sugar. This recipe is also great for those who really enjoy eating cookie dough. Since there are no eggs in the recipe, the unbaked dough is safe to eat raw. Either way, raw or baked, the richness of the chocolate and the fiber from the almonds helps these cookies to please that sweet tooth with a small portion. Such a perfect treat.
Variation: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies
For a delicious Chocolate Chocolate Chip version of the above cookie, just replace 1/2 cup of almond meal or almond flour with 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. All the rest of the ingredients and instructions stay the same.
