I am allergic to almonds can you recommend an alternative to almond flour for the C.C cookies? thanks – Lynda

CeliacChick,
First, I steer clear of Bob’s Red Mill as it is more than twice as expensive as other almond flours. Second, it is not as finely ground as Honeyville, Lucy’s and others. Third, several people have made this recipe with it and reported very poor results.
That’s the story. Hope you are well.

I love your recipes. I tweaked this one slightly by using a mix of stevia and splenda as the sweetener instead of agave nectar and I used Carb Safe dark chocolate instead of the Dagoba drops. The result is that I can finally have my chocolate chip cookies without the guilt and can I just say that Iv lost almost 20 lbs since Iv replaced the white flours and sugars with the almond meal and alternative sweeteners! Thank you so much for this site Elana. Youre recipes are helping me change my life.

hi i wanted to say thanks for the recipe. i made them for my sister, who is trying to get gluten out of her diet, but since she’s not a total vegan (still eats eggs and a few kinds of cheese), what I did was add a beaten egg, and reduced the amount of oil. I also increased the amount of chocolate chips, because we love chocolate! The cookies came out soft and chewy.
