I really wasn't planning on making any Christmas cookies this year. Honest! But somehow December surprised me, and I found myself wanting cookies! I have been having this mad chocolate craving, and these cookies were the answer!
I mean, really, how is Christmas going to be here in two short weeks???

2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup nutty butter (or almond butter)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix the flax egg and let sit to gel.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: coconut, almond flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix in the milk and nut butter. The dough will be thick. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
