When I cleaned out the refrigerator yesterday, I found a whole lot of little packages of flour tucked here and there – almond flour, coconut flour, quinoa flour, etc.
Then, whilst watching television last night (I had to rest my foot), I had a sudden hankering for chocolate.
A sudden hankering for chocolate + a bunch of flour that needs to be used up = chocolate chip cookies.
So into the kitchen I went and emerged with some pretty darn good results. Slightly crispy, light and very chocolatey.
Whisk together in a small bowl:
75 grams (5/8 c.) all-purpose flour
30 grams (1/4 c.) coconut flour
30 grams (1/4 c.) almond flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
a sprinkling of organic, unsweetened shredded coconut
In a larger bowl beat until creamed:
5 oz. organic grass fed butter, softened
1/4 c. granulated sugar
3/8 c. brown sugar
then mix in:
1 organic free range egg
1/2 t. vanilla
Now slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Then stir in:
a whole bunch of callebaut semi-sweet chocolate chips, as many as you have.
And then dump in some nestle’s semi-sweet morsels if what you have isn’t quite enough.
You do have a hankering for chocolate after all.
Drop them by spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees in a convection oven or at 375 degrees in a conventional oven for 10 minutes.
Warm cookies, cold milk.
Oh yes.
Put the cookies that aren’t gobbled up by you and your people in a large zip-loc bag. They will be softer and, I dare say, even better in the morning. My daughter says “just as good, which is rare for cookies to be just as good the next day.” I stand by “even better.”
Bon apetit.
Not fair. I have practically none of those ingredients, plus I’m on a diet. Cruel, cruel.

Well, sorry, but if you ever have little bits of flour that need to be used, you’ll know what to do. Have you experimented with the pumpkin ice cream yet?

No…I priced pumpkin and it was the equivalent of $10 U.S. per can…and I’m too lazy to cook and strain a real pumpkin. I’ll make do with pumpkin pie for Xmas–that a friend is bringing. One day, though, I’ll try it. It sounded so good.

I’m guessing all the cookies got gobbled before you got to take a photo? YUM!

🙂 I took a photo with two left on the plate, but the photo police – aka my daughter – said it was not post worthy. And she’s right. I only get good light in my kitchen in the late afternoon and I took the pic after dark.
