let the Christmas shopping BEGIN + clean, gluten-free, dairy-free SUGAR COOKIES!

finally started a little Christmas shopping!

for myself :lol: . i found these guys yesterday at Hobby Lobby for half price and i can't wait to make healthy sugar cookies with Chiso. here's a tip that you may or may not have known- you can just pull up the featured Hobby Lobby coupon right on your mobile device and show it to the cashier, no printer or hard copy needed. i found that out while in line yesterday cause the lady in front of me did it. i logged onto www.hobbylobby.com super fast before my turn and immediately clicked on Coupon; it was for 40% off one regular priced item. SCORE.

we might leave these out for Santa this year, try'em!

clean, dairy-free, gluten-free, vanilla and chocolate sugar cookies

the stuff:

1 1/2 cups almond meal / flour
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla OR almond extract (either works)
dash of sea salt

--->for the chocolate cookies, make 1/4th of the almond meal unsweetened cocoa powder (which leaves 1 1/4 cups almond meal left, right? right.)<---

do this:

mix your batter well.
place bowl in the fridge for 20 minutes. **i know you want to skip that step but don't!** it determines the texture of your cookies.
press dough out on flat surface and use cookie cutters, or roll dough into 22 balls.
bake for 7-9 minutes on 350 degrees or until golden brown.
