Paleo Cookies - Choc or Nuts

I tried a slightly different style of baking- using only natural ingredients so no processed sugar, butter, wheat etc. A diet known as 'Paleo' gave me a recipe which I adapted slightly.  They are very yummy, you would never know they are Paleo! 

I have included both the nuts and the chocolate in the recipe, either use both or pick one, remember though, that when taking a measurement out you must substitute it with something else!

Ingredients:

1 & 1/4 cup Ground Almonds

1/4 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 cup Honey

1-2 tsp Water

1/8 cup Almond oil (any oil will do)

1tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips / 1/4 cup Walnuts or Almonds

Oven 190'C

Mix the Ground Almonds, Salt and Baking Powder together in a large bowl.

Add the oil, vanilla Extract and Honey.

Mix in your Chocolate Chips or Nuts.

Using your hands, scoop the mixture in balls or just use a spoon to dollop some onto a lined baking tray.

Bake for 6 minutes, then take out and LIGHTLY flatten them, as they will not spread out themselves.

Bake for a further 6 to 10 minutes, then leave to cool before eating.
