1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside. (I like to bake one cookie sheet at a time)
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In another medium mixing bowl or large glass measuring cup, combine the wet ingredients. Make sure the coconut oil/margarine are cooled off as well as the honey before you add to the egg mixture.
3. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, mix gently until all is combined. Try not to over mix. If the batter is dry, you can add a tablespoon of almond milk or cold water at a time, but, keep mixing it should all come together. Batter may be sticky. That’s okay. Toss in the chocolate chips and walnuts if using. Place some wax paper or plastic wrap over the top and place in fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes.
4. Take out of fridge, the batter should not be too sticky anymore. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, make mounds and place 6 to 8 on the lined cookie sheet. Using a spoon or clean damp fingers, gently press down to shape into rounds. (The cookies will not spread too much). Bake anywhere from 12 to 18 minutes. Start on a lower rack and after 5 minutes you can move up or leave them on the lower rack. Check after 12 minutes and using a thin spatula, check that the bottoms are lightly browned. The tops of the cookies should spring back when gently touched on the top. Try not to over bake. Take out of the oven and place cookie sheet on a wire rack. After 3 minutes, slide the parchment paper off the cookie sheet right on the wire rack and let cool. Now, start you next batch of whatever batter is left. Enjoy these healthy delicious gluten free chocolate chip protein cookies!
