The Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Vegan, gluten free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, high protein, paleo
These cookies are amazingly chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. As a kid I loved baking crispy, buttery cookies. Little did I know I could create a cookie using no sugar, no dairy and no flour by using coco nibs and toasted walnuts for crunch, vanilla for flavor, coconut oil for a chewy inside and salted tops as a chocolate flavor enhancer. The batter takes five minutes and uses only one bowl.

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Prepare 2 cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or sprayed with coconut.
2. In a large bowl stir together almond flour, ground flax, salt, and baking soda. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add into the well melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir to combine. Fold in extras: chocolate chips, walnuts and cocoa nibs. Make sure they are evenly mixed within dough.
3. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into balls and place onto the cookie sheet spaced 1 inch (2,5 cm) apart. Continue until you have 20 cookies. Tuck in the sides and make the cookies perfectly round. These cookies do not spread so you can get more than usual onto each sheet.
4. Brush each cookie with a little maple syrup and finish with a large pinch of crystal salt. (The maple syrup helps the salt stick and when the cookies bake, they become crunchy and shiny.)
5. Bake 14 minutes. They will be firm on the outside and soft on the inside.
