Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are so yummy!!! I brought these to a party and they were all gone by the end of the night =] If these seem time consuming, you could just put the batter into a rectangular pan and make cookie bars instead!

Chocolate Chip Cookies - Makes 30 cookies

• 2 cups walnuts
• 1 cup liquid sweetener (agave or maple syrup)
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1½ cups oat flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1½ cups vegan chocolate chips (12 oz.)

1. Preheat oven to 350 and coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

2. Blend walnuts in food processor 30 seconds, or until ground into a fine meal. Add half of the sweetener, and blend 2 to 3 minutes more, or until mixture has the consistency of natural peanut butter, scraping down sides of food processor occasionally. Transfer to bowl.

3. Pour remaining sweetener over ground walnut butter, add vanilla extract, and stir until no lumps remain.

4. Whisk together oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in separate bowl. Stir oat flour mixture into walnut mixture. Cool 10 minutes in the fridge or freezer. Fold in oats, then chocolate chips.

5. Shape cookie dough into 2-inch balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten cookies with bottom of drinking glass dipped in water. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies begin to brown and tops look dry. Cool 3 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!!!
