Cookies for Breakfast?

Yesterday I asked my kids what they wanted for breakfast and my son said, "Hmmm...How about cookies?" As I mentioned in a previous post, we don't talk about certain foods as being "good" or "bad" for us, since we make everything using healthy ingredients. So we had cookies for breakfast! They took very little time to make and they tasted yummy! The recipe comes from OatmealWithAFork.com. 

Ingredients

• 1 c. almond meal
• scant ¼ t. sea salt
• ⅛ t. baking soda
• ¼ t. cinnamon, optional, but delicious!
• 3 T. coconut oil or butter, melted
• 2 T. honey or maple syrup
• 1½ t. vanilla
• 1-3 t. water
• 2-4 T. chopped dark chocolate, depending on your personal preference 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the almond meal, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
3. Stir in the coconut oil, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla.
4. Add in water as needed to bring everything together.
5. Stir in the chopped chocolate last.
6. Bake for 10-11 minutes on a well oiled or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet (the edges should be golden).
7. Let them sit on the pan for 5-10 minutes (they firm up during this time, so this is an important step!).
8. Remove and enjoy!
