- 2 cups almond flour blanched and finely ground
- ¼ cup arrowroot
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 7 Tbsp ground freeze-dried strawberries (measurements are approximate and based on one 1.2-oz bag of dehydrated strawberries ground into a fine powder) just shy of ½ cup
- ¼ cup honey (or agave syrup for vegan cookies)
- ¼ cup pureed strawberries fresh or frozen (thawed, rinse ice off before thawing)
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 3 medium strawberries, chopped into small pieces (optional)
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
-
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Grind the freeze-dried strawberries into a powder in a food processor and mix into the dry ingredients.
-
Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl before combining with the dry. Switch to a sturdy spoon and mix until the batter is well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Oil a 1 Tbsp cookie scoop. Form each scoop of dough into a ball before arranging 2” apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Press a few pieces of chopped strawberry into each cookie, if desired.
-
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool before devouring!
Be sure to rub the cookie scoop with a little avocado oil so the cookie dough doesn't stick!
