gluten free cookies | My TEA CUPP Prayers

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:36-40(NKJV)

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, GF, DF

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups gluten-free oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1 teaspoon pink salt
1 jar organic almond butter
1 cup monk fruit or org. coconut sugar
4 organic eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 bag Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: oats, baking soda, cream of tarter, and salt. In a large bowl, first stir the almond butter to blend it well. Then add the sweetener, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well. Next, add the dry ingredients bowl to your wet ingredients and stir until mixed. Finally, fold in one bag of chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving room between cookies. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool before serving. This made about 30 cookies for us. Enjoy!

Notes: We have made this recipe several times, trying out various sweeteners. The monk fruit and coconut sugar worked best. Also, powdered stevia worked. When we used maple syrup, we only used 2/3 cup syrup and 3 eggs. They turned out to be a much smoother cookie (see picture below) and people enjoyed them, too. Next time I plan to try chopped walnuts instead of the oats to make a grain-free variety.

But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.”… Luke 9:13
