Fiber-Rich Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preparation Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mixing Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, and salt.

Mixing Wet Ingredients In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Combining Ingredients Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, and chopped nuts or seeds if using.

Portioning and Shaping Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down gently on each cookie to flatten slightly.

Baking and Cooling Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Garnishing and Serving If desired, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the cooled cookies for extra decadence. Enjoy the fiber-rich gluten-free cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
