It's rare to come across a baked dessert recipe that is gluten-free, dairy free, grain free, and yet perfectly sweet, chewy and addictive! I am not a baker, and I am a strong advocate of a minimum sugar diet, but it is nice to have at hand a good recipe that we can enjoy, especially with the kids, every now and then. I recently found this recipe and my 8 year old made it (on his own!). We always have tahini (sesame paste) in the fridge as I love making different types of hummus. So I chose that this particular recipe because it was using tahini. If you don't have it at home, by all means, try it with almond or peanut butter instead:-)

• 1/4 cup Coconut flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda (a pinch)

• (option to add fancy sea salt flakes to sparkle on top)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. prepare your baking sheet.
2. In a bowl, mix together with a wooden spoon: egg, sugar, tahini, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth.
3. Then add the dry ingredients and continue to mix together until you reach a cookie dough consistency.
4. Add Chocolate chunks.
5. form small balls in the palm of your hand and place on baking sheet. flatten the top with two fingers.
6. Bake for 9-10 minutes until lightly golden. Option to sprinkle sea salt Crystals when still hot, then let cool down. Enjoy!!
