For National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, serve them up fresh and warm, so those luscious chocolate bits melt in your mouth! Doctor these cookies up any way you’d like… from adding various nuts seeds, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut. With coconut in mind, enjoy my Almond Joyous Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.
Almond Joyous Chocolate Chip Cookies
A Super Simple twist to the traditional chocolate chip cookies of our youth.

¼ c 100% pure maple syrup
1 large whole egg
2 whole egg whites
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 c dark chocolate chips
½ c sliced almonds
½ c shredded coconut
Combine flour, baking soda and sea salt; set aside. Mix coconut oil & maple syrup till creamy, but not fully incorporated. Add egg, egg whites, and vanilla and continue mixing. Slowly add flour mixture to egg mixture. Stir in chocolate chips, almonds, and coconut till well combined. Place large rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, about 1” apart. Flatten slightly to 1” thickness. Bake at 375°F 12-15 minutes, just till set and golden. Makes 2 dozen.
