Chocolate Almond Macaroon Cookies

These are hands down my husband's favorite. He likes me to send them to him so he can put them in his freezer and ration them. Lol. Oh, and I triple this recipe because I have a big family that likes to eat of lot of food.

1 flax egg (1 T ground flax + 3 T water, mixed)
1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
1/2 cup almonds ground into flour
1/2 cup sucanat
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 t baking powder
1/2 t kosher salt
2 t pure vanilla extract
2 T almond milk
1/4 cup almond butter
1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 and prepare grease a cookie sheet. Mix flax egg with water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Add wet to dry and mix well. The dough will be very, very thick, but not worry!

Stir in the chocolate chips until combined.

With wet (I usually spray them with oil), shape small balls and place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 14-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
