Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

I decided to keep with my holiday treats theme and come up with a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. There are so many different variations of "paleo" chocolate chip cookies, so I decided to use what I had in my cabinets and come up with my own.  Since I love coconut, I tossed some of that good stuff in this recipe too. Only problem is these came out a little bit dry, but thats what happens when you use coconut flour.  Anyone else have a good cookie recipe?? I posted a recipe similar to this way back in march, that had mashed bananas and almonds in it.  Check it out if you like bananas,almonds, and coconut.

Have a good holiday friends!

You will need:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/2-3/4 cup dark chocolate chips  ( or chop up your favorite chocolate bar)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil ( is what I used, I would do 1/2 cup next time to make them more moist)
- 1/4 cup almond butter
-1/4 cup honey
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- dash of cinnamon
-1/2 tsp sea salt

1. mix all dry ingredients ( except chocolate chips)
2. melt coconut oil, add almond butter and honey to melted coconut oil to get a smooth mixture.
3. add eggs to dry ingredients
4, add almondbutter/coconutoil/honey mixture
5. then add chocolate chips--mix together well
6. make small cookies with hands
7. place on greased cookie sheet
8. bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.  In my oven 15 wasn't enough, so I left it in for 20 and they were over done.  I'd go for a good 18 minutes.

Enjoy!
