Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup palm shortening
  • 2/3 cup crunchy almond butter I highly recommend Barney Butter brand
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup maple sugar
  • 1/2 cup dates
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot
  • 1/2 cup Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the palm shortening and almond butter.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well. Now add the honey and maple sugar and beat until creamy.
  • Chop the dates in a food processor or blender until a very slightly chunky paste texture. Add this to the cookie batter mixture.
  • Now add all of the dry ingredients and chocolate chips and mix well.
  • Scoop onto baking sheets. I recommend using cookie scoops for consistently sized cookies.
  • Bake 15 minutes or until just slightly browned around the edges. Don't over bake if you want them to retain some chewiness.
