INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups
blanched almond flour*
1 cup
tapioca starch/flour**, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 tsp
kosher salt
1 3/4 tsp
Paleo baking powder (1/2 teaspoon baking soda + 1 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1/4 teaspoon starch (arrowroot or tapioca work well))
1/4 cup
coconut palm sugar
2 oz
miniature dark chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)
5 tbsp
nonhydrogenated vegetable shortening (I use Spectrum Naturals brand)
1/3 cup
unsweetened almond or coconut milk
Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
*I recommend using Honeyville brand or Nuts.com brand for a finely ground, blanched almond flour (not almond meal).
**I only recommend buying tapioca starch/flour from Nuts.com or Authentic Foods. Bob’s Red Mill tapioca starch is of inconsistent quality. Do not buy tapioca starch/flour from the Asian food store as it is frequently contaminated.
