White Chocolate Chip Cookies
My younger son E, did the drawing above. He has been very into his art lately, creating a series (crayon on paper) of skateboarders doing tough jumps.
Yesterday he asked me if he could have his own flickr account (as all cool budding artists do). I thought that was a bit precocious for age seven and told him I would post his art on my flickr account. So if you go to my flickr sets and see photos that aren’t food, you know who did them!
Art seems to run in the family. My mother-in-law, Marylyn Dintenfass (yes, that’s Marylyn with a “y”) is an artist with a piece in the Metropolitan Museum and her stuff hangs all over our house. So we definitely know which side of the family he got it from.
Alas, I digress. Back to food. Desserts. We return to the land of treats, continuing our speedy recovery from “post-holiday-dessert-burnout.”
Lately my boys have been very into my chocolate chip cookies –with a twist. They love them with white chocolate chips. Unfortunately for me, white chocolate contains dairy, so I do not partake of these delightful (probably overly sweet) treats. However, the boys and their friends gobble them up.
2 ½ cups blanched almond flour
½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup agave nectar
1 cup Sunspire white chocolate chips
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl
- Stir together wet ingredients in a smaller bowl
- Mix wet ingredients into dry; fold in white chocolate chips
- Form ½ inch balls and press onto a parchment lined baking sheet
- Bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes
- Cool and serve
Makes 24 cookies
When E’s friend Kai was here last week, he couldn’t stop eating these gluten-free, egg-free, white chocolate chip cookies. He must have had at least a half dozen. When his mom came to get him, he took her into the kitchen, exclaimed to her how delicious the cookies were, gave her one to sample and then grabbed a couple for the road.
PS. You can watch me making this delicious recipe over at my regular chocolate chip cookie video tutorial post. Just substitute the chocolate chips!

Thanks for sharing your site. We will definitely be making the almond milk… it sounds fabulous. My 7 yo daughter has been on an almond kick lately so she will LOVE helping me make it. These cookies look yummy as well. I will have to check Sunspires ingredients to see if we can use the white chocolate chips or if we will need to sub.
