Clean Chocolate Chip Cookies

C is for cookie and my goodness are these addicting!  I have an ENORMOUS sweet tooth!  (Thanks, Dad!)  I broke out my orange Kitchen Aid mixer today and catered to my sweet tooth and WOW is this recipe a keeper!  They were so soft, so easy to make, and because you just can't have enough chocolate, in my opinion, I added cocoa to the mix too!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup unsalted Almond Butter
• 2 tbsp. unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 tsp. chia or hemp seeds
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

*Optional - I was feeling rebellious and added a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder, which is why they are a darker color in the picture.

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix.

3.  Spoon onto prepared baking sheet.

4.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Let cool.

As simple as that!!
