Paleo Sunflower Cookies

These little guys are packed with smooth citrus flavor and a dark chocolate center. They’ve been a real hit with friends!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 C Almond Flour
• 1/2 C Arrowroot Flour
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 C Melted Refined Coconut Oil (flavorless)
• 1/4 C Maple Syrup
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 tsp Orange Extract
• 4 TBL Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
• 1/2 C Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips 

DIRECTIONS

• Pre-heat oven to 350°
• In a medium bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix all the ingredients except the chocolate chips together in a bowl
• Spoon about 1/4 c of the batter onto a lined and greased cookie sheet
• Put a handful of chocolate chips in the center of each cookie
• Using a fork, pull up on the edges of the batter of each cookie to make the jaggedy "sunflower-style" to each cookie. There is no perfect science here, so get creative!
• Bake cookies for 12 minutes on center rack or until golden brown

BAKER'S TIPS

• Flavorless Coconut Oil is best so that the coconut flavor doesn't overpower your cookies, but I've also made 'em with regular coconut oil and the cookies still came out good.
• You can add as much orange extract as you'd like -- the more you add, the more tartness you'll get in your cookie
