Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been feeling the spirit of Christmas this weekend- even though Christmas is not before one month I went shopping yesterday to start buying Christmas presents! You can't help but feel like Christmas is coming soon when they have Christmas carols playing and decorations all over the shopping centre. I must say I don't mind the fact they start quite early as Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I loved it in France and I like it here too even though it's a very different type of Christmas. My birthday is right after Christmas (on the 28th if you feel like buying me a present!) and I have always been lucky to always be on holiday and with family during that time. This year it will be my first Christmas hosting it in my house as a married woman! I am looking forward planning a menu and decorating my house. I have already bought some decorations for the table! (Stay tuned for more healthy Christmas ideas...)

I decided to make healthy chocolate chip cookies and homemade almond milk (recipe from Kavisha Jegathesan) in the spirit of Christmas. Those cookies are of course healthy, paleo and processed sugar free.

Ingredients: (makes 12)

2 eggs
1/4 tsp of baking soda
1/2 cup arrowroot flour
1/3 cup almond meal
3 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp coconut sugar or any other sugar/sweetener
3 tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp cacao nibs (or more for a bit more crunch if you don't mind the bitterness)
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt

Optional: if you don't have arrowroot flour increase almond meal to 3/4 cup.

Instructions:

Preheat oven at 200 degrees;
Mix eggs;
Add flour and almond meal & baking soda;
Mix with sugar and cacao powder;
Add coconut oil;
Add vanilla, cacao nibs and salt;
Put cookie dough on a tray with baking paper;
Sprinkle cacao nibs;
Put in the oven for 15 min;
Leave to cool on a tray & enjoy!

Optional: leave under the christmas tree with a glass of homemade almond milk for Santa Clause and his reindeers!
