Matt's Guiltless Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the recipe for the gluten-free low-sugar cookies that I am bringing into class today.

1 1/2 cups Gluten-Free Almond Flour
1/2 cup Gluten-Free Flaxseed Meal
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 cup Vegetable Shortening
2 Tbs Local Honey
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions:
Mix the dry ingredients.
Mix the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
      (Can be done with a food processor or by hand).
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Scoop dough one level teaspoon at a time onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Press dough balls down gently.
Bake at 350 for approximately 8 minutes.
Let cool for 15 minutes.
     *Important - cookies will break if you attempt to handle them before allowing them to cool.
