Christmas Chocolate Crunchies in a Bottle

Hello everybody,

Are you already looking forward to Christmas? I totally am! I already started to decorate my apartment and I listen to my Christmas playlist all day long, which turns David a bit nuts already, as he is sort of a little Grinch. :D

Do you already have all of your Christmas presents? I don't, but I already came up with some ideas for small presents, which could also serve perfectly as host(ess) gifts for eventual Christmas parties. Among other things I decided to make "cookies in a jar" this year. Those can currently be bought everywhere in Vienna (even in interior decoration shops), but I thought it would be much nicer to make them oneself, also because then you can be sure which ingredients have been used. Here comes the instruction. :)

Christmas Cookies Here We Come

Hi there!

Do you love Christmas cookies as much as I do? Well, I do (actually I love all kinds of cookies but at Christmas they always seem to taste best)! :) Therefore I'll show you a great cookie recipe I recently tried. These babies taste chocolaty, moist and crunchy all at the same time and the best thing is they are even (kind of) healthy. Almost no refined-sugar and glutenfree.
Yummy!!

What you'll need

• 3 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

How it works

Preheat your oven to 190°C and put some parchment paper on your baking sheet.
Combine the almond flour with a teaspoon of baking powder and a teaspoon of salt.

In another bowl combine the eggs, the vanilla sugar, the maple syrup and the melted coconut oil.

 Then mix up the wet with the dry ingredients and add the chocolate chips.

Take small portions of the dough and press them flat on your baking sheet (as thick as you like). Now you can cut out the cookies.

 Put them into the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Done! :)
