Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Amazing Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

I realized the other day that I haven't put many deserts up here!  Then I realized, hey! I haven't made any deserts lately either!  For the last 2 weeks I've been mulling the idea of almond balls (i'll post those next) around in my head and the other night, was the night to start creating!  I added some of this, some of that, smushed into a cookie, baked and voila.....AWESOMENESS in a small cookie!  These are soft on top, crunchy on the bottom and full of delicious flavor!

As a small side note, I made these again last night and found that you have to add and mix each ingredient in.  Adding them all and mixing does not work....just an FYI there :)

Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Amazing Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 cup Almond Flour - sifted - do not pack
1/4 cup Maple Syrup
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup Almond Butter
1 Tbsp. Herb Stop's Vanilla Sugar
1/4 cup Vegan/Grain-Free Chocolate Chips - I use Sunspire

Blend almond flour and maple syrup together until well mixed.  Add vanilla extract, almond butter, sugar  and blend very well.  Add chocolate chips.  Using a tablespoon to measure, roll each tablespoon into a ball and smush down into 2 inch rounded cookies.  Bake at 350 degrees on a slipmat (silicone mat) for 10 minutes for a crunchy bottom, or 8 minutes for a very soft cookie.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Transfer to a cooling rack. ENJOY!!
