This is the recipe that started it all. I got hooked on almond flour. Not only is almond flour packed full of vitamins it is low it carbhohydrates. My type 1 diabetic daughter loves these cookies and she can have lots of them because they are only 9 carbs each. Let's take a look at almond flour for a second.

Here is some information on almond flour http://www.elanaspantry.com/why-almond-flour/#health
Ingredients:
3 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 Tablespoons chocolate chips (I use carob chips)
2 Tablespoons grapeseed oil
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon guar gum or xanthan gum
Pre-heat the oven to 350* and start mixing all the ingredients. The dough should form a moist, but not sticky ball. Form the dough into 20 balls and pat flat with your hand. Bake the cookies for 7-10 minutes or until the sides are slightly browned. Each cookie is only about 9g of carbs.

| I use baking stones, they seem to bake evenly. |
 |
| Cookies out of the oven. |
 |
| And the final product is beautiful. |
You can even add a little carob powder to this recipe to make a nice mochaccino tasting cookie!
